I would like to download and use the DNA fasta sequences of the entire
human genome.
Looking at the ftp directory I see several files ending with
"PATCH.fa.gz", do I need to patch the contents of any of the fasta
files of the 24 chromosomes (1-22, X and Y) for example
"ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-68/fasta/homo_sapiens/dna/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.68.dna.chromosome.1.fa.gz"?

Allan.
