PGV

PGV visualizes reference-agnostic pan-genomes to represent and enable exploration of genes and non-coding sequences across cultivars, accessions, or strains within a species.

Key Features:

• Reference-Agnostic Representation: Represents pan-genomes without reliance on a single reference genome, capturing genes and non-coding sequences present across individuals.
• Consensus Ordering: Organizes genomic data using consensus ordering to facilitate comparison and the identification of structural variations.
• Interactive Visualization: Provides interactive visualization capabilities for exploring pan-genomic variation and relationships among genomes.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative Genomics: Enables comparison of genomic content and structure across multiple genomes within a species without a reference.
• Evolutionary Biology: Supports analysis of genomic diversity and structural variation for evolutionary inference.
• Plant Breeding and Diversity Studies: Facilitates visualization of pan-genomic variation across cultivars, accessions, or strains to inform studies of genetic diversity.

Methodology:

Implements a reference-agnostic representation of pan-genomes and organizes genomic sequences using consensus ordering for visualization and comparison.
