Abstract

Individual genomes: the Korean connection The genome of an anonymous Korean male has been sequenced using a broad spread of genomic techniques. This combinatorial approach allows for detailed characterization of sequence and structural variation. The first four individual genomes to have been determined spanned three distinct ethnic groups: a Yoruba African, northwest European (Craig Venter and James Watson) and Han Chinese. This new work, together with another Korean sequence reported elsewhere, adds the Altaic ethnic grouping to the list.
