Refget: standardised access to reference sequences
2021
Reference sequences are essential in creating a baseline of knowledge for many common bioinformatics methods, especially those using genomic sequencing. We have created refget, a Global Alliance for Genomics and Health API specification to access reference sequences and sub-sequences using an identifier derived from the sequence itself. We present four reference implementations across in-house and cloud infrastructure, a compliance suite and a web report used to ensure specification conformity across implementations. https://w3id.org/ga4gh/refget.
