Two-way thick black arrows show the influence or interaction, including (1) arrows from the center to the challenges signify how super-pangenomes address/amplify these challenges and (2) line-with-bars from challenges to the center suggest how these challenges impact/hinder the adoption of super-pangenomes. Circular colored lines highlight the interplay between challenges, as shown by the colored text. Created with BioRender.com.

Choose your human genome reference wisely - Nature Methods Scientists can choose between multiple human genome references, and a pangenome reference is coming. Deciding what to use when is not quite straightforward.

As new human assemblies become available on beta.ensembl.org - which human reference genome will you choose? This article explores the question with insights from Ensembl’s own Fergal Martin - www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Graphic detailing information for the webinar "Evolution of the accessory genome": the webinar will run on 8 October 2025, 14:30 - 15:30 BST. The speaker is Hsueh-Chien (Raymond) Cheng, from the Wellcome Sanger Institute. A photo of the speaker is displayed close to his name.

Join us next week for the second #webinar in our #pangenomes series!

We will talk about the evolution of the accessory genome in bacteria, and how it plays an essential role in microbial diversity and adaptation.

Pangenome annotation opens up a multiverse of genes Researchers at the Earlham Institute are gaining deeper insights into genetic diversity with pangenome annotation.

💬 “When you compare different systems of annotation, you can end up accidentally inferring results that are technical, not biological.”

Scientists at Earlham Institute are developing #annotation tools to support higher-quality and more comparable data for #pangenomes.
