Korean Personal Genome Project
Contents
Introduction
Mission
- to function as Korean center for PGP (Harvard Medical School, George Church lab)
- to build a standard Korean genetic information database
- to activate the participative genome research
- to develop genome sequencing and analysis technologies in the age of personal genetic information services
- to establish an open community if sharing ethical, social, and legal issued in regard to genetic information
Research
- Korean reference genome project
- Rare diseases reference genome project
- HLA alleles reference standard data production project
Participation
Genetic Information Participation
It is a public participation. The human genetics education, screening and participant`s willingness determine an individual's participation.
Research Participation
People who have research experiences in the field of human genetics, or who are willing to contribute to KPGP can participate through screening.
Company Participation
Institutes and companies could participate. Sponsorship can greatly help KPGP`s activation.
Human genome researches have developed rapidly since the human genome project was completed in 2003. Recently large-scale production of human genome data is available with the advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).
Genome Research Foundation (GRF), as a non-profit foundation, determines to open Korean genome data and the current available data of human genome sequence and analysis for free to allow researchers to study. Under the circumstances, OPEN KPGP started on 2011.
How to download
After accessing to the OPEN KPGP website, select the desired data from DATA DOWNLOAD to download it through the Web and FTP.
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.)
Hard disk request
You can get data hard disks by requesting it to the administrator. However, the hard disk and processing costs will occur.
Cost:
- Hard disks
- Operating costs (labor and server equipment operating costs).
- Shipping : door to door delivery(domestic only) / international shipping : please contact. (info@kpgp.kr)
(The data charges are variable based on the quantity and price of the hard disk, one hard disk can contain different numbers of samples.)
1) Raw sequencing data

Method of Sample (gDNA) Preparation for Sending out
1. Sample(gDNA) Preparation
1) DNA should be dissolved in TE buffer (Tris 10mM pH 8,0, 0.1 mM EDTA) or 10 mM Tris pH 8.0.
2) Do Not Dissolve in Water
2. Sample(gDNA) Requirement
1) Amount and concentration spec. : over 20 ug of gDNA with >50 ng/ul
This amount is required for
a. Whole genome sequencing (30X)
b. Whole exome sequencing (50X)
c. Genotyping
2) Sample(gDNA) should be : OD260/280=1.8~2.0; free of protein, RNA, or other visible contamination
3. Sample(gDNA) Packing Information
This way is only available when DNA is dissolved in TE or Tris buffer.
1) If not, please pack DNA with icepack in icebox and use Fedex or DHL service
2) Mark sample information on tube (concentration, sample name…what you want)
3) Seal the cap of tube with parafilm well
4) Wrap the tube with paper towel or equivalent
5) Put into the 50 ml Falcon tube and close the cap
6) Send the sample with air cushion envelop by FEDEX or DHL or equivalent
4. Requirement of Sample(gDNA) Information
1) Sample type: DNA
2) Condition: DNA in TE buffer or EB buffer or equivalent. Not in water
3) Gel image of DNA electrophoresis
4) Species
5) No. of Tubes
6) Concentration (ng/μl)
7) Volume (μl)
8) Total Quantity (μg)
9) OD260/280
10) OD260/230
