Korean Variant Archive (KOVA): a reference database of genetic variations in the Korean population

Abstract Despite efforts to interrogate human genome variation through large-scale databases, systematic preference toward populations of Caucasian descendants has resulted in unintended reduction of power in studying non-Caucasians. Here we report a compilation of coding variants from 1,055 healthy...
