Human Genome Variation Society, Toronto, Canada
26th October 2004
The HGVS organises two one day meetings per year as a forum for scientists to exchange ideas and form collaborations. The meetings are designed to update and increase knowledge of human genome variation and generally attract a stimulating and interesting collection of abstracts in all fields of human genome variation making it an ideal forum to share information and results. Topics include: bioinformatics, mutation databases, genetic diversity, ethical issues, legal issues, methodology, complex traits, nomenclature issues and other topics. We invite all those interested in human genome variation especially bioinformatics and disease causing mutations to submit abstracts.HGVS will be joining the American Society of Human Genetics in Toronto, Canada as an ancillary meeting. The afternoon portion of the meeting (from 5:00PM) will be devoted to the Annual General Meeting of the HGVS where business issues will be discussed. We hope all members are able to attend, non-members are welcome. After the meeting we will relax and mingle with some refreshments. We are seeking a sponsored lecture. All interested companies please contact R. Horaitis.
