Korea s first large-scale project reaches milestone of sequencing 10,000 whole genomes
On April 26, UNIST and Ulsan City officially announced that their ambitious 10,000 Genome Project has finally reached the milestone of sequencing 10,000 whole genomes. On this day, they also held a declaration ceremony to commemorate the successful completion of the Ulsan 10,000 Genome Project, which was initiated in 2016 as part of the Genome Korea in Ulsan Project launched in 2015.
The Ulsan 10,000 Genome Project is Korea s first large-scale public project, which is somewhat similar to the UK s 100,000 Genomes Project. The primary goal of this project is to map the complete genomic diversity of Koreans, by constructing a reference database of genomic variation, detecting rare genetic mutations, and providing well-annotated full genome information for Korea s growing genomics industry.
