BPC Working Groups

-Assembly & QC

-Pangenome construction - methods, completeness vs computational burden

-Variant calling/quantification - assessing reference bias mitigation

-Phylogeny/introgressions - relationships between breeds and complex rearrangements

-Pangenome applications to QTL/GWAS

-Training sets/Outreach - ease the transition from linear reference to pangenome
