Kurzbeschreibung: This symposium will focus upon the exploitation of variation in the human genome in the study of complex genomes. Aspects to be covered this year will include methods/strategies for effective utilization of different types of DNA variation (e.g., single nucleotide polymorphisms-SNPs and copy number variations-CNVs), functional genomics applications, population genetics, ethics, bioinformatics, and the study of human disease. This meeting is the 8th in a series of international meetings devoted to the analysis of SNPs in complex human diseases but now has integrated the burgeoning field of copy number variation. Hence, it has been renamed HGV2006.
