<h2>Introduction</h2>
<div><span style="font-size: small">Korean Personal Genome Project (KPGP) is a participative research project established by </span><a href="http://genomefoundation.org/index.php/Main_Page"><span style="font-size: small">Genome Research Foundation</span></a><span style="font-size: small"> (GRF). It is a part of PGP (The international </span><a href="http://www.personalgenomes.org/"><span style="font-size: small">Personal Genome Project</span></a><span style="font-size: small"> (PGP), led by U.S. none-profit research group, is founded in 2006 and seeking a diverse range of volunteers with the purpose of improving human health. In concordance with the international PGP, KPGP has started to improve Korean people's health and medical welfare.</div><h2><br />Vision</h2><divspan>KPGP is aiming to advance science research, in order to promote human health and welfare using genome technology.</div>
<h2>Mission</h2>
<ul>
<li>to function as Korean center for PGP (Harvard Medical School, George Church lab)</li>
<li> to build a standard Korean genetic information database</li>
<li> to activate the participative genome research</li>
<p> </p>
<h2>How to download</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: small">After accessing to the OPEN KPGP website, select the desired data from DATA DOWNLOAD to download it through the Web and FTP. <br />Please understand that the downloading may be very slow due to Network load. (The speed of downloading 20 people’s data through KT cloud is stable, please use it as an alternative.)</span></p>

<h2>Hard disk request</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: small">You can get data hard disks by requesting it to the administrator. However, the hard disk and processing costs will occur. <br />Cost:</span></p>
