Abstract
A pangenome can reveal the genetic diversity across different individuals simultaneously. It offers a more comprehensive reference for genome analysis compared to a single linear genome that may introduce allele bias. Pangenomes are often represented as genome graphs, making sequence-to-graph mapping a fundamental task for pangenome construction and analysis. Numerous sequence-to-graph mapping algorithms have been developed over the past few years. Here, we provide a review of the advancements in sequence-to-graph mapping algorithms in the pangenome era. We also discuss the challenges and opportunities that arise in the context of pangenome graphs.
