I know GRCh37 is synonymous (with minor differences) with hg19. However, I'm wondering if NCBI37 is synonymous with GRCh37 and hg19. Maybe it's obvious that NCBI37 refers to GRCh37, but I haven't seen it referred to as NCBI37 before today.
Is a human genome file with reference as NCBI37 the same as hg19?
In other words, are NCBI37 and hg19 synonymous? I can't find much information for what NCBI37 is in a human (not mouse) genome.
Relevant line from VCF: "##reference=NCBI37"

If you go to the GRCh37 page at NCBI you will see that hg19 is a synonym (mostly used by UCSC as I recall): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCF_000001405.13/
Description:
Genome Reference Consortium Human Build 37 (GRCh37)
Organism name:
Homo sapiens (human)
BioProject:
PRJNA31257
Submitter:
Genome Reference Consortium
Date:

Synonyms:
hg19
Mitochondrial genome has some differences according to the past thread: what is the difference between GRCh37 and hg19 ?

NCBI did not use GRCm37 designation for mouse genome build. As you can see from the table below that can be found here:
NCBI37 should be human genome.
