<span style="font-size:16px;">The Korean Genome Project (KGP) is the largest of its kind in South Korea, currently supporting the the sequencing of Korean human genomes of up to 10, 000 bp in length. It originated from the national initiative to build a Korean reference genome, as well as sequence whole population genomes in 2006 by Korean Bioinformation Center (KOBIC), Korean Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB), National Center for Standard Reference Data (NCSRD), and Korean Research Insitute of Standards and Science (KRISS), in Daejeon, South Korea.</span>
<span style="font-size:16px;">In 2009, the Genome Research Foundation (GRF) and TheragenEtex began supporting KGP to build the variome of Koreans, as well as the Korean Reference Genome (KOREF). Additionally, KGP began receiving support from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Clinomics, and Ulsan City from 2014 onwards.</span>
