Hi,
From the link below, I have used GCA_009914755.4.chrNames.fa.gz genome reference (human T2T chm13) for alignment in bowtie2 in an atac-seq experiment.
First, is it the correct version of CHM13 to use for this purpose?
If so, can I use the refseq annotation file (GCF_009914755.1_T2T-CHM13v2.0.110.20220412.gtf.gz) available in the same link for annotation of DARs (with homer for instance)?
Apologies for the naive question! Still not sure which source to use after hg38.
Thanks!

The latest T2T genome version is 2.0, so you should have the correct FASTA version (25 contigs => 1-22, X, Y and MT) plus the bowtie2 etc. indexes.
Depending if you really want to use the latest genome annotation, you may check this CHESS 3: an improved, comprehensive catalog of human genes and transcripts based on large-scale expression data, phylogenetic analysis, and protein structure.
caveat I have not used as yet the above annotation, so some sanity checking is required.
