Abstract excerpt
Pangenome graphs capture extensive structural diversity, but resolving complex loci from shallow sequencing remains challenging, particularly when samples are of low quality such as in ancient DNA. We introduce COSIGT (COsine SImilarity-based GenoTyper), which assigns diploid genotypes by matching read-depth distributions to haplotype paths via cosine similarity. Because this metric evaluates relative coverage...
