RefChef - Genomic Reference Management Tool

---

RefChef is a reference management system that includes additional tools to record the provenance of reference sequences, indices, and annotations. It was created to enable reproducible research.

RefChef will:

1. Document the exact steps undertaken in the retrieval and processing of genomic references
2. Maintain the associated metadata
3. Provide a mechanism for automatically reproducing retrieval and creation of an exact copy of genomic references
