Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology at ASHG 2026

Oct 20–24, 2026 Montréal, Canada ~7.5k attendees Website

Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology brings 8 presentations from 5 research groups to ASHG 2026 in Montréal. Its program centres on computational genetics, large-scale Korean genomic data, and tools for genome analysis and interpretation. Korea Bioinformation Center (KOBIC) presents rare-disease genomes from 15,000 Koreans and an automated whole-genome pipeline, while Korean Nucleotide Archive (KRA) presents Korea’s national biological data archive and Biomedical Genomics Research Center presents a Korean pangenome.
