The Genome Reference Consortium (GRC) is a group of educational institutes which was formed to improve the representation of reference genomes. At the time the human reference was initially described, it was clear that some regions were to closure with existing technology. The main reason for improving the reference assemblies are that they are the cornerstones upon which all whole genome studies are based.

  • The Genome Reference Consortium (GRC) is a group of educational institutes which was formed to improve the representation of reference genomes. At the time the human reference was initially described, it was clear that some regions were to closure with existing technology. The main reason for improving the reference assemblies are that they are the cornerstones upon which all whole genome studies are based. Initially the focus lies with the Human and the Mouse reference genomes, but additional model organisms will be added to the list. The goal of the Consortium is to correct the small number of regions in the reference that are currently misrepresented, to close as many remaining gaps as possible and to produce alternative assemblies of structurally variant loci when necessary.
