I am following the DESeq protocol.
It suggests for me to download a reference genome sequence for the organism under study (homo sapiens) in (compressed) FASTA format. It also asks for me to download a GTF file with gene models for the organism of interest (homo sapiens).
Upon Googling, I began to download the hg19 from this site (http://tophat.cbcb.umd.edu/igenomes.shtml). As it is downloading, it is called Homo_sapiens_UCSC_hg19.tar.gz.crdownload, which makes me wonder if it really is a FASTA format?
Moreover, the site does not also include GTF file for humans.
So, I am wondering, what is the safest place to download both these files?
