Graph Genome January 31st, 2019 Pan-Genome Analysis Takes Center Stage The concept of a pan-genome reference is straightforward: a reference structure that represents all the known genetic variation for a particular population or species. The representation of the human reference genome as a linear haploid DNA sequence poses limitations when trying to incorporate the known genetic diversity of human populations. … Written by Devin Locke Conferences May 22nd, 2017 Reference bias: Challenges and solutions Ahead of the Bio-IT World Conference & Expo in Boston this week, we take a look at the role of reference genomes in ensuring accurate genomic analysis. In standard next-generation sequencing analyses, DNA is fragmented and sequenced. The sequenced reads are then aligned to a reference genome for the species. … Written by Jessica Lau Graph Genome February 1st, 2017 Festival of Genomics: Reflecting on graph genomes Yesterday at Festival of Genomics, London, Seven Bridges CEO Deniz Kural joined a panel discussing implementations of graph genomes, alongside Erik Garrison from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and Andy Yates from EMBL-EBI.
