The human reference assembly is a COMPOSITE of many individuals
The human reference assembly is NOT static
When the reference assembly updates:
Accession.versions are KEY to data management
Your favorite region may have the same SEQUENCE but different COORDINATESYour favorite region may CHANGE significantly
