Human assembly with bowtie2

[Christaline-George]

Hello,

I am using bowtie2 for the first time to remove human-associated sequences from my set of environmental sequences.

However I am not certain on which build I should download as there are 3 options :
-Human / GRCh38 no-alt analysis set1
-Human / GRCh38 no-alt +decoy set1
-Human / GRCh38 + major SNVs

Is there any description for these?

Hello,

There's a bit of context on those indexes here. I hope this helps.
