An ethnically relevant consensus Korean reference genome is a step towards personal reference genomes
The utility of a universal reference sequence for human genome comparisons is dependent on the ethnic origins of the individuals being sequenced. Here the authors report a Korean reference genome and consensus variome, and show that an ethnically-relevant reference can improve variant detection.
