The focus of this workshop is to give participants an overview and understanding of commonly used pangenomics tools.

Besides an introduction into the motivation and theory behind questions from the field of pangenomics, we will look at specific tools (such as panacus, Corer, PLAST, and SANS) and let the participants explore their usage in hands-on sessions.

Learning goals:
Participants will learn to use the tools panacus (pangenome diversity analysis), Corer (pangenomic core detection), PLAST (querying a graphical pangenome) and SANS (phylogenomic reconstruction).

Prerequisites:
Interested participants should have a basic understanding of Linux operating systems to participate in hands-on sessions of the workshop.

Keywords:
