Pangenomes describe the available genetic diversity within, for instance, plant species, crops or germplasm collections. Because of diminishing costs of genome sequencing, increasing speed of reference genomes construction and advances in bioinformatics, PanGenomes have become an accessible tool. The genome insights delivered by PanGenomes can spectacularly speed up and contribute to plant breeding and research.

Together with some of our partners, we organize this two-part webinar on PanGenomes, where we explain what one needs to be able to construct PanGenomes and highlight their value in breeding and research.

Participation is free of charge.

Part 1: Building for a Pangenome, Wednesday 17th February 2021, 16h CET

Part 2: Construction and use of a PanGenome, Thursday 18th March 2021, 16h CET
