  "summary": "Identity-by-descent (IBD) detection identifies genomic segments inherited from a common ancestor, and supports studies of relatedness, demographic history, and disease mapping. Existing methods primarily use linear genome representations and do not identify structural variants (SVs) shared within IBD segments. Pangenome graphs encode SVs and store each haplotype as a path through the graph. We…",
