Pangenomics transforms evolutionary biology

Theo Murphy meeting organised by Dr Joana Meier, Dr Henry North and Dr Charlotte Wright.

Genomic studies often use a reference genome from a single individual. This underestimates genetic diversity and biases against more distant relatives. Novel pangenome graphs eliminate both issues by combining the genetic variation of diverse individuals. This meeting will showcase cutting-edge pangenome tools, applied uses of pangenomes which are transforming health and agriculture, and opportunities to revolutionise biodiversity genomics.
