The paper introduces Korea10K, a large genomic dataset of 10,239 Korean genomes with multiomic and clinical data, enabling population-specific variant imputation and insights into genomic-epigenomic regulation.

The paper identifies 17 novel DNA methylation biomarkers for anxiety disorders through differential methylation analysis and validates them using machine learning models.

The paper sequenced the genome of the extinct Dokdo sea lion to clarify its evolutionary history and genetic diversity before extinction.

Korea4K presents whole-genome sequences of 4,157 Koreans with 107 health parameters, identifying new genotype-phenotype associations and improving imputation performance.

The paper presents LT1, a high-quality human reference genome assembled using long-read and Hi-C data, and reports its genomic features and availability as a public resource.

The paper compares seven short-read sequencing platforms using the Korean Reference Genome, finding MGI platforms match Illumina in quality and cost-effectiveness.

The paper reports whole-genome sequences of nine Egyptian females with clinical data, identifying SNPs and mtDNA mutations associated with obesity and CPEO, and analyzing genetic admixture patterns.

This study compares the cost-effectiveness and quality of chromosome-scale genome assemblies using PromethION and PacBio sequencing for the Korean reference genome KOREF, finding PromethION to be more cost-effective with comparable or better quality.

This paper presents the first genome assembly of the non-symbiotic octocoral Dendronephthya gigantea to aid in comparative genomic studies of cnidarians and explore genetic differences between soft and stony corals.
