Motivation
With more and more telomere-to-telomere genomes assembled, pangenomes make it possible to capture the genomic diversity of a species. Because they introduce less biases, pangenomes, represented as graphs, tend to supplant the usual linear representation of a reference genome, augmented with variations. However, this major change requires new tools adapted to this data structure. Among the numerous questions that can be addressed to a pangenome graph is the search for conserved regions, i.e. genomic that are likely retained during evolution.
Results
In this article, we present a new tool, named PanSel, which finds genomic regions that are significantly conserved, or divergent.
