After the genome maps of an African, two Europeans, and a Chinese have been published, a Korean professor claims to have completed the “most accurate” genomic map yet – that of a 30-some healthy Korean male. The map is 99.94 accurate, having repeated analyses say, on chromosome 20, an average of 150 times.
A research team lead by Professor Seo Jeong-Seon, from Seoul National University, published its finding on Nature. Professor Seo emphasized the importance of having an accurate map as a foundation of personalized medicine.
