UC Santa Cruz

More than a dozen UC Santa Cruz researchers and students are contributors to this project, which will continue into 2024 when the researchers plan to release a final pangenome with genomic information from 350 individuals.

Human pangenome reference will enable more complete and equitable understanding of genomic diversity

UC Santa Cruz scientists, along with a consortium of researchers, have released a draft of the first human pangenome—a new, usable reference for genomics that combines the genetic information of 47 individuals from different ancestral backgrounds to allow for a deeper, more accurate understanding of worldwide genomic diversity.
