Highlights•A framework for identifying ultra-conserved sequences in human pangenome assemblies•Pan-conserved segment tags (PSTs) from 94 pangenome and two reference genome assemblies•PSTs connect pangenome and reference genome coordinates, enabling comparative analysis•Distances between PSTs reflect preserved and variable genome regions in assembliesMotivationThe human pangenome reference addressed the limitation of the current reference by incorporating assemblies from diverse backgrounds.

AbstractX-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a premier technique for materials characterization, providing key information about the local chemical environment of the absorber atom. In this work, we develop a database of sulfur K-edge XAS spectra of crystalline and amorphous lithium thiophosphate materials based on the atomic structures reported in Chem. Mater., 34, 6702 (2022).
