(In Korean, the term "genome map" is usually used as the full genome sequence)<br />

The following is the translation of the news articleexcept the grey area:<br />

“ The Korean genome map by Genomics Institute, Seoul National University is the first one”.</span></div>

<div style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"><span style="LETTER-SPACING: 0px">During the teleconference with The Science(Donga Science), President Yang answered as above to the question about what is  the official opinion of the genomics society on the first Korean genomeis. He  added that “More ~~complete~~ perfect research results are more important ~~that~~ than who ~~was~~ the first one is”.</span></div>

<div style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"><span style="LETTER-SPACING: 0px">On Jul 8, Genomics Institute, Seoul National University Medical School announced in a press release that “The genome sequencing results they completed in Sep 2008 will be published in Nature magazine on Jul 9, 2009” and “it is the first Korean genome ~~sequencing~~analysis in Korea”. However, <span id="lw_1249786432_8" class="yshortcuts">Korea Research Institute</span> for Bioscience & Biotechnology (KRIBB) and Gachon University of Medicine and Science published a research article titled  “The first Korean <span style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed; CURSOR: hand" id="lw_1249786432_9" class="yshortcuts">genome sequence</span> and analysis” in <span style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed; CURSOR: hand" id="lw_1249786432_10" class="yshortcuts">Genome Research</span> on May 26. There has been dispute which was the first. <br /><br /><font color="#808080">* Constantly challenged by the Seoul National Medical School group although KRIBB has been providing the first full Korean genome sequence on the web since Dec. 2008 and published the paper in May. By 9th Aug. 2009, Seoul University Medical School's genome sequence is not available either in NCBI or on their own site.</font></span></div>

<div style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"><span style="LETTER-SPACING: 0px">President Yang explained; “If two articles were published in journals of the same level, who is  the first would be important. However, if the levels of journals are different, it does not really matter”; “If articles were published around the similar period of time, It is customary to give priority to the article which has bigger <span style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed; CURSOR: hand" id="lw_1249786432_11" class="yshortcuts">impact ~~factor~~</span> and more strict (thorough) reviewing process”.</span></div>
