Advances in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools have fueled a renewed interest in whole genome sequencing efforts in many organisms. The growing availability of multiple genome sequences has advanced our understanding of the within-species diversity, in the form of a pangenome. Pangenomics has opened new avenues for future research such as allowing dissection of complex molecular mechanisms and increased confidence in genome mapping. To comprehensively capture the genetic diversity for improving plant performance, the pangenome concept is further extended from species to genus level by the inclusion of wild species, constituting a super-pangenome. Characterization of pangenome has implications for both basic and applied research. The concept of pangenome has transformed the way biological questions are addressed. From understanding evolution and adaptation to elucidating host–pathogen interactions, finding novel genes or breeding targets to aid crop improvement to design effective vaccines for human prophylaxis, the increasing availability of the pangenome has revolutionized several aspects of biological research. The future availability of high-resolution pangenomes based on reference-level near-complete genome assemblies would greatly improve our ability to address complex biological problems.

Pangenomics in Microbial and Crop Research: Progress, Applications, and Perspectives

AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWWe present Panakeia, a tool which strives to be easy to use and providing a detailed view of the pangenome structure which can efficiently be utilised for discovery, or further in-depth analysis, of features of interest. It analyses synteny and multiple structural patterns of the pangenome, giving insights into the biological diversity and evolution of the studied taxon. Panakeia hence provides both broad and detailed information on the structure of a pangenome, for diverse and highly clonal populations of bacteria. Development of new pan-genome analysis tools is important, as the pangenome of a microbial species has become an important method to define the diversity of a selected taxon, most commonly a species, in the last years. This enables comparison of strains from different ecological niches and can be used to define the functional potential in a bacterial population. It gives us a much better view of microbial genomics than can be gained from singular genomes which after all are just single representatives of a much more varied population. Previously published pangenome tools often reduce the information to a presence/absence matrix of unconnected genes or generate massive hard to interpret output graphs. However, Panakeia includes synteny and structural information and presents it in a way that can readily be used for further analysis. Panakeia can be downloaded at https://github.com/BioSina/Panakeia.
