• This file is needed by the telomerehunter nf-core module so that tests can supply the correct cytoband for hg38-aligned BAMs
• Without an explicit hg38 cytoband, telomerehunter defaults to its bundled hg19 version, which causes an IndexError when processing hg38 data
Context
This supports an upcoming PR to the nf-core/modules repo that adds a cytoband input channel to the telomerehunter module. The module tests need a reference cytoband file hosted here in test-datasets.
