Does Parabricks support the GRCh38 RefSeq?

Hi there,

I would like to know if Parabricks supports the GRCh38 reference sequence, as the GRCh38 RefSeq contains not only ATCG+N but also B, K, M, R, S, W, Y bases. I could not find any relevant information in the documentation, and the Homo_sapiens_assembly38.fasta provided by NVIDIA uses UCSC bases (which only uses ATCG+N bases).

Hey @tj_tsai, our examples use UCSC but GRCh38 is also supported.
