DNA comparisons in genomics: a reference-based perspective

Genomics is a field devoted to understanding the differences in genetics between populations, individuals, and even within individuals. By constantly comparing and contrasting data from diverse sources, genomics can refine our understanding of life and identify new ways to improve our lives. However, this often presents technical and biological...

Population graph of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

In recent years, cheap sequencing has resulted in hundreds or thousands of individual genomes available for many species. Therefore, it is logical to rethink the concept of the reference genome; as consisting of a population of genomes rather than being a single one. The term pan-genome describes a population of genomes of the same species or a...
