The paper constructs a Korean pangenome reference (K-PanRef) from 14 healthy individuals and demonstrates its utility in identifying disease-relevant structural variants in early-onset myocardial infarction samples.

The paper presents a gapless, haplotype-resolved canine genome assembly for a Jindo dog, achieving high completeness and accuracy for the Y chromosome.

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 presents KOREF1-G-TTAGGA, a high-quality telomere-to-telomere Korean reference genome with haplotype-resolved sequences and multi-omic data for precision medicine.

This study develops a transcriptomic clock to predict age from whole blood and shows that physiological stress like COVID-19 can induce reversible age acceleration.

The paper presents a high-quality de novo genome assembly of the Asian Crested Ibis using long-read and Hi-C data, achieving a higher N50 and gene completeness compared to previous assemblies.

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