Key Points
- About Pangenome Reference Map: It provides a more comprehensive understanding of human genetic diversity. It contrasts the linear structure of traditional reference genome.
- Forms of a Graph: Pangenome map takes the form of a graph. Chromosomes in the graph feature nodes where sequences from all 47 individuals converge.
- Internodes represent genetic variations among individuals from different ancestral backgrounds. Long-read ....
