Hands-on Introduction to Pangenome Graphs

Dive into a hands-on introduction to pangenome graphs in this 41-minute conference talk by Rayan Chikhi at the Computational Genomics Summer Institute (CGSI). Explore the fundamental concepts and practical applications of pangenome graphs in genomics research. Learn about data structures, algorithms, and tools used in pangenome analysis, drawing insights from related papers on pangenome graphs, minimizer-space de Bruijn graphs, and computational graph pangenomics. Gain practical experience with tools like ODGI for understanding and manipulating pangenome graphs. Discover how these advanced techniques are revolutionizing whole-genome assembly and enabling more comprehensive analysis of genetic variation across populations.
