Author Benedict Paten and others at the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute are involved in a major effort funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute to build a comprehensive human pangenome reference, which they expect to release next year as a resource for the scientific community.

In addition to Sirén and Monlong, the new paper has three other co-first authors who contributed equally: Xian Chang, Adam Novak, and Jordan Eizenga, all at the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute. In addition to other coauthors at the Genomics Institute, including Director David Haussler, the coauthors also include researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and Google Health. This research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
