Symposium on interpreting the human genome
There is still time to register for Interpreting the Human Genome, the Miami 2009 Winter Symposium organized by the University of Miami, Nature Publishing Group and Scripps Florida. The conference takes place 24-28 January 2009, at Deauville Beach Resort, Miami Beach.
The human genome has hidden levels of regulatory complexity and variability that have begun to reveal themselves since the initial sequence became available in 2001. Today, with increasingly powerful sequencing and analysis technologies, we are not only beginning to appreciate the scale of variation in individual human genome sequences, but also gaining a greater understanding of how genome differences relate to human evolution and disease. This meeting will showcase these advances in our understanding of human genome regulation and variability as well as the potential of new technologies to drive the advancement of knowledge.
Speakers and honoured scientists include Svante Paabo, J. Craig Venter and George Church (full list available here).
