Gramene's PAG31 Highlights: Unlocking Genomic Diversity, Tools for Exploration, and Biocuration Insights

The International Plant and Animal Genome conference (PAG31) took place on January 12-17, 2024 in San Diego, California. The meeting focuses on fostering an opportunity to exchange ideas and share recent developments and future plans for plant and animal genome projects through technical presentations, poster sessions, exhibits and workshops. During the Gramene workshop, Marcela K.

Expedition PAG: A Small College Student's Dive into Genomic Insights by Abigail O’Meara

I am truly grateful for the experience of attending the International Plant and Animal Genome Conference (PAG) in San Diego, CA this week. As a senior nearing the completion of my Bachelor's degree at Smith College in Northampton, MA, with a double major in Statistics and Environmental Science & Policy, the opportunity was particularly significant.

Revealing Presence-Absence Variation in Plant Genomes: Unveiling Pangenes Through Genome Alignments

As the cost of genome sequencing has declined and the quality of sequencing data and assembly algorithms has increased, there has been an increased interest in pangenomes. Pangenomes allow a crop research community to better understand the genetic diversity in their species of interest. Since a large proportion of many crop genomes are repeats, it is common to focus on the regions that encode genes.
