Scope and Usage
Each ChromosomeReferenceSequence contains the accession that can be used to look up the sequence for a chromosome. This includes
- the autosome
- sex chromosomes
- the mitochondrial chromosome
Note that as with all ReferenceSequences, the entity does not contain the sequence itself, only an accession that can be used to retreive the sequence as well as metadata about the sequence.
Exclusions and Limitations
In version v0.1, ChromosomeReferenceSequence must be primary assembly chromosome sequence. Patches, unplaced sequences, and other sequences of genomic DNA are unsupported in v0.1.

chr: A short human-readable name for the chromosome. referenceGenome: Particular versions of chromosomal sequences are often aggregated together and released as a version of the full Reference Genome, for example the GRCh38 primary assembly. A particular ChromosomeReferenceSequence may be part of zero or more of these coded public genome assemblies.
