<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Genomics and pangenomics of grapevines and their wild relatives<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wild grape species (<i>Vitis</i> spp.) are crucial for enhancing viticulture's climatic resilience and sustainability. Dario will present the challenges associated with studying clonally propagated and highly heterozygous outcrossing species,
and how breakthroughs in genome assembly and analysis of <i>Vitis</i> spp. have led to discoveries concerning grape evolution, from adaptation to environmental stress to grape domestication. He will describe how diploid chromosome-scale genomes from wild
<i>Vitis</i> spp. have enabled the identification of candidate disease-resistance and flower sex determination genes, and the creation of the first
<i>Vitis</i> graph-based pangenome. Additionally, he will emphasize the important of data sharing and the impact that
<a href="http://www.grapegenomics.com">www.grapegenomics.com</a> has made on grape research.<o:p></o:p></p>
