The Human Pangenome Reference is a collection of genomes from a diverse cohort of individuals compiled by the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium (HPRC).
This first draft pangenome comprises 47 phased, diploid assemblies from a diverse cohort of individuals and was intended to capture the genetic diversity of the human population. The development of this pangenome seeks to address perceived shortcomings in the current human reference genome by offering a more comprehensive and inclusive resource for genomic research and analysis.[1]
The pangenome concept, originating from the study of prokaryotes, has been extended to multicellular eukaryotic organisms, including humans. The human pangenome has significant implications for population genetics, phylogenetics, and public health policy, as it can inform the genetic basis of diseases and personalized treatments by providing insights into the genetic diversity of human populations.[2]
The new human pangenome reference integrates the missing 8% of the human genome sequence, adding over 100 million new bases. It aims to capture more population diversity than the previous reference sequence and is based on 94 high-quality haploid assemblies from individuals with broad genetic diversity. The generation of this reference genome focuses on eliminating gaps, incorporating complex genomic sequence features, and encompassing a broader spectrum of human genome diversity.[3]
