As far as a central repository, there’s always SNPedia’s genome page which has as complete a listing of genomes – including links to the data, where available – as I know of.

Hey Hsien, One of the Koreans is named: Seong-Jin Kim (the last author on the second paper Keith cited above). The other is known only as AK1. The Yoruba individual is an anonymous male known as NA18507, and he's actually been sequenced twice: once using Illumina technology, and a second time using SOLiD. The 1000 Genomes Project has so far sequenced six genomes (three Europeans and three Africans, all anonymous HapMap individuals) to very high depth, and a further 180 individuals (60 Europeans, 60 Yoruba, 30 Han Chinese and 30 Japanese) with very low coverage. The project will have sequenced round 1200 genomes at low coverage by Feb 2010. There are also two acute myeloid leukemia patients who have had both their cancer and normal genome sequenced: see here and here.

Awesome. Thanks for your help, guys! Just curious to see how quickly the list grows. Is there a central repository of the publicly available sequences or at least a link list of where each can be found? I know available data from the PGP-10 is at:

Yes, there are certainly two Korean totally sequenced genomes. Plus, as far as I know, Knome sequenced more than 10 people (for serious amounts of money of course).

I think there are two distinct Korean genomes sequenced. A highly annotated whole-genome sequence of a Korean individual.

Illumina’s genome sequencing service costs $48,000, and its first customer was entrepreneur Hermann Hauser.
