“Contig reference” refers to an allele on a contig at a particular SNP position. For example, if a synonymous or non-synonymous SNP at a particular contig location has the variation of “C/T” and the “contig reference for that SNP is “T”, then the SNP would be “T” at that SNP location on the contig.
