VIRTUAL PANGENOME WORKSHOP

Genomics has evolved into a new era of sequencing innovations, enabling the simultaneous exploration of multiple genomes within the same clade—pangenomes. Pangenomes are now being generated for a wide range of plants, animals, and microorganisms to mine genes and genetic variation from diverse germplasm collections. This approach highlights their value in identifying missing genetic components and uncovering their impact on economically important traits. These insights have enhanced our understanding of domestication, biology, and evolution, while also enabling practical applications in breeding. The workshop aims to introduce the transition from individual genomes to pangenomes, emphasizing their advantages and applications in breeding and agriculture through case studies of key crops. The event is intended for students, postdocs, and researchers in plant genetics and breeding, plant physiology, plant biology, agronomy, phytopathology, microbiology, and related fields, from BTI, AGROSAVIA, and Colombian universities or institutions with an interest in the topic.
