     This process may be more complicated if a reference genome for your host taxa is not readily available. In this case an alternative method would need to be employed (for example: predicting taxonomy via `Kraken2` and then filtering out all reads that map to the phylum or kingdom of your host taxa).

+This exercise provides an example using `BBMap` to map against a masked human reference genome and retain only those reads that do *not* map to the reference. Here we are mapping some mock human microbiome reads against a pre-prepared human genome that has been processed to mask sections of the genome, including those that:
  
 - are presumed microbial contaminant in the reference
 - have high homology to microbial genes/genomes (e.g. ribosomes)

 ### Indexing the reference genome and read mapping with `BBMap`
 
-We will cover more about read mapping in [later exercises](https://genomicsaotearoa.github.io/metagenomics_summer_school/day2/ex6_initial_binning/). For now, it is important to know that it is first necessary to build an index of the reference using the read mapping tool of choice. Here, we will first build a `BBMap` index, and then use `BBMap` to map the quality-filtered reads to that index, ultimately retaining only those reads that do *not* map to the index.
