International Genome Graph Symposium 2026

This second edition of the International Genome Graph Symposium keeps its focus on the advances of genome graphs and their applications in the biomedical field. In addition to the traditional topics of genome graph representations and computational methods on graphs, we newly added a dedicated session on non-human pan-genome applications and metagenomics. The area of pangenomics is thriving and we are looking forward to welcoming international experts in Ascona for a fruitful scientific exchange, continuing to build a platform for innovations on representing genomic variability.

We will again host the International Human Pangenome Project (HPP) community at this year's IGGSy. In response to the enthusiasm for the work of the HPP, these presentations form a dedicated session within IGGSy. If you are a member of the HPP, please indicate this during registration. All HPP members are encouraged to attend and participate in all other sessions of the conference. Further details are included in our program.
