    Asri, M. (BMEB) – Genome Inference in the Pangenome Era

    Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Human genome references have provided unified coordinate systems for mapping genetic variation, enabling numerous discoveries in genomics. However, mapping to a single linear reference can be misleading or even impossible when a sample’s genome is highly divergent from the reference, an issue known as reference bias. Recent advances in long-read sequencing technologies and computational techniques […]
