Dbkey specifies the base assembly; unique build ID species the particular assembly. This is most often used for human assemblies: dbkey is hg19 and build ID might specify some combinations of autosomes, sex chromosomes, and mitichondrial DNA.

Dear all, When adding a genome I understand that the format are added in the following way:

<unique_build_id> <dbkey> <display_name> <file_base_path>

My question is, what is the difference between the unique_build_id and the dbkey?
