# nf-core/atacseq: Reference Genomes Configuration
The nf-core/atacseq pipeline needs a reference genome for alignment and annotation.
These paths can be supplied on the command line at run time (see the [usage docs](../usage.md)),
but for convenience it's often better to save these paths in a nextflow config file.
See below for instructions on how to do this.
Read [Adding your own system](adding_your_own.md) to find out how to set up custom config files.
## Adding paths to a config file
Specifying long paths every time you run the pipeline is a pain.
To make this easier, the pipeline comes configured to understand reference genome keywords which correspond to preconfigured paths, meaning that you can just specify `--genome ID` when running the pipeline.
Note that this genome key can also be specified in a config file if you always use the same genome.
To use this system, add paths to your config file using the following template:
```nextflow
params {
genomes {
'YOUR-ID' {
fasta = '<PATH TO FASTA FILE>/genome.fa'
}
'OTHER-GENOME' {
// [..]
}
}
// Optional - default genome. Ignored if --genome 'OTHER-GENOME' specified on command line
genome = 'YOUR-ID'
}
```
You can add as many genomes as you like as long as they have unique IDs.
## illumina iGenomes
To make the use of reference genomes easier, illumina has developed a centralised resource called [iGenomes](https://support.illumina.com/sequencing/sequencing_software/igenome.html).
Multiple reference index types are held together with consistent structure for multiple genomes.
We have put a copy of iGenomes up onto AWS S3 hosting and this pipeline is configured to use this by default.
The hosting fees for AWS iGenomes are currently kindly funded by a grant from Amazon.
The pipeline will automatically download the required reference files when you run the pipeline.
For more information about the AWS iGenomes, see https://ewels.github.io/AWS-iGenomes/
Downloading the files takes time and bandwidth, so we recommend making a local copy of the iGenomes resource.
Once downloaded, you can customise the variable `params.igenomes_base` in your custom configuration file to point to the reference location.
For example:
```nextflow
params.igenomes_base = '/path/to/data/igenomes/'
```
