Apr2023 reference datasets for Mitohelper

<p><strong>Reference datasets (Apr2023 update) for Mitohelper (<a href="https://github.com/aomlomics/mitohelper"><em>https://github.com/aomlomics/mitohelper</em></a>)</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>Major update (Nov2022): The 12S rRNA gene sequence dataset is now filtered to only contain mitochondrial genomes annotated with 12S rRNA gene sequences. Sequences of the 12S rRNA gene are now extracted from complete mitochondrial genomes to construct a more gene-specific 12S rRNA dataset. 12S rRNA gene sequences in mitohelper's dataset are available for download as mitofish.12S.Feb2023_NR.fasta</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://github.com/aomlomics/mitohelper">Mitohelper</a> is a repository built to facilitate experimental design, alignment visualization, and reference sequence analysis in fish eDNA studies. Refer to our <a href="https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.187">paper</a> and Mitohelper's <a href="https://github.com/aomlomics/mitohelper/wiki">wiki</a> for database construction pipeline.</p> <p>I.
