metapangenomic
Metapangenomics is a field of study that aims to create a comprehensive reference genome from a collection of related genomes, such as those from a species or a group of closely related species. Instead of representing a single individual's genome, a metapangenome seeks to capture the full spectrum of genetic variation present within a population or clade. This approach acknowledges that a single genome sequence is often insufficient to represent the genetic diversity of a species.
The concept of a metapangenome is built upon the idea of a pangenome, which is the entire
The primary goal of metapangenomics is to provide a more complete and accurate reference for future genomic
The development and application of metapangenomic resources are crucial for understanding evolutionary processes, population genetics, and
