Using timestamps does not work as we might be importing files with timestamps older than the last QC run. Those would not be detected by a timestamp based method but would be by this digest based approach. There is a project-wide digest and per sequence digests. The former takes the path and hashes of all files known to Dougal for this project (the `files` table), concatenantes them and computes the MD5 checksum. Sequence digests do the same but only including the files related to that sequence.
