Plant Genomics, Pangenomics & Epigenomics
Plant genomics, pangenomics, and epigenomics reveal the complete genetic blueprint of plants and the layers of regulation written on top of it. Genomics decodes the full DNA sequence of a species, pangenomics captures the genetic diversity across many individuals and varieties, and epigenomics maps the chemical marks that switch genes on and off without changing the underlying code. Together they provide an unprecedented view of how plants are built, how they vary, and how they adapt. This Plant Genomics, Pangenomics & Epigenomics session unites researchers using genome-scale tools to understand and harness plant diversity at its deepest level.
These approaches have transformed crop science by allowing breeders to identify valuable genes, track diversity across germplasm collections, and select traits with remarkable precision. Pangenomes capture variation that single reference genomes miss, while epigenomic insights explain how identical genes can behave differently under stress or across generations. Delegates at this Plant Conference will explore how high-throughput sequencing, structural variation analysis, and epigenetic mapping accelerate the discovery and deployment of beneficial traits. By reading the full genetic story of plants, the field empowers everyone advancing plant genome science.
This session is ideal for genomicists, bioinformaticians, breeders, molecular biologists, and students seeking to understand plant genomes in their full complexity. Participants will engage with the latest in sequencing technology, diversity analysis, and epigenetic regulation, alongside opportunities to link genomic discovery with applied breeding and biotechnology.
