DECSRIPTION OF THE COURSE
Discover what a pangenome is, learn the basics of quality checking, constructing and using a pangenome, and explore the potential future applications of pangenomes that may open new research opportunities.
The School will have theoretical classes and practical sessions to enable students to learn and apply the techniques that are taught, and will include examples and demonstration. Tutors at the School are leading experts in pangenome construction, annotation and applications.
Tutors include: Tim Smith (USDA), Alexander Leonard (ETH), Michele Morgante (University of Udine), Clelia Peano (Human Technopole), members of the European Bioinformatics Institute Emsembl annotation team, researchers from the Italian National Research Council and professionals from biotech companies.

OBJECTIVE:
The school will train PhD students and young researchers in the construction, application, and interpretation of the pangenome, addressing livestock species with insights also on plants and humans. The school will provide theoretical knowledge and data analysis skills using bioinformatics tools.
MAIN PROGRAM:
The advanced training course is organized at the Gasparini Residence - Strada dell'Anselma,9 - Piacenza, from June 22 to July 27, 2024, for a total of 44 hours: 28 hours lectures and 16 hours practicals.
The course will be delivered in English.
The course focuses on the construction and use of the pangenome. The pangenome is the entire genetic make-up of a species, that is the core genome, shared by all members of a species, and accessory genomes possessed only by single populations or individuals. Studying the pangenome allows for the identification of sequences not included in current reference genomes which might have important implications for important characteristics of organisms. The summer school will focus on innovative analysises and will cover theoretical and applicative aspects, addressing livestock species with insights also on plants and humans.
