Reference genome for CIViC data

Question

[haiying.kong]

I am trying to use the dataset on from the website: https://civicdb.org/releases

For the summary tables, there is information that the data is with hg37 as reference genome. But for vcf files, no where is saying anything about reference genome. Are they all still using hg37 as reference?

Answer 1

no where is saying anything about reference genome.

look at the ##contig lines in the vcf header and compare it to the reference dict/fai.

Thanks a lot. Yes, it says hg37. I was trying to find the information from webstie.
