 # Hostile
 
-Rapid FASTQ decontamination by host depletion. Accepts paired fastq.gz files as arguments and outputs paired fastq.gz files. Downloads and caches a custom human reference genome to `$XDG_DATA_DIR`. Replaces read headers with incrementing integers for speed and privacy. Python package with CLI and Python API. Installs with conda/mamba.
+Rapid FASTQ decontamination by host subtraction. Accepts Illumina or ONT fastq[.gz] input and outputs fastq.gz files. Downloads and caches a custom human T2T + HLA reference genome to `$XDG_DATA_DIR` when run for the first time. Replaces read headers with incrementing integers for speed and privacy. Python package with CLI and Python API. Installs with conda/mamba. Please read the [BioRxiv preprint](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.07.04.547735) for further information, and open a GitHub issue if you encounter problems.
