Key Figure. Approaches for the Construction of a Super-Pangenome

The figure presents a schema for the construction of a super-pangenome using diverse accessions of all of the species of a given genus. A minimum of ten different accessions for each species can be used to construct a species-level pangenome, and combining these species pangenomes would result in a super-pangenome, which would ultimately have the capacity to represent the complete genetic repertoire of the genus, thus providing a vast resource for the acceleration of crop improvement. Abbreviations: Acc, accession; SP, species of a given genus.
