HUM-MOLGEN archive: ANNO: Final Announcement, HGM'96 Meeting

HGM96: HUGOs Human Genome Meeting Heidelberg, 22-24 March 1996 The Human Genome Organisation, HUGO, invites all scientists actively involved in the world-wide human genome initiative to attend the HGM96 meeting in Heidelberg, Germany, from 22-24 March 1996. Through interactive workshops, poster sessions and symposia, HGM96 will offer a variety of lively opportunities to consider the very latest scientific information as well as some of the ethical, legal, social and commercial issues surrounding genome science. HGM96 will provide state-of-the art accounts of the human genome map and the various mapping initiatives supporting its development; discussions of the most recent advances in mapping and sequencing technologies; detailed information on the different chromosomes; database demonstrations; posters on all aspects of genome work; a commercial exhibition - and much more. Nobody working on the human genome can afford to miss HGM96 and a warm welcome is extended to genome scientists from all over the world, particularly younger scientists. Symposia on Chromosome Maps: Updates and Integration; Comprehensive approaches to the Mapping and Functional Analysis of Human Genes; Comparative Genomics: Genome Mapping in Model Organisms; Common Disease Analysis; Genome Sequencing; Molecular Variation and Human Evolution; Bioinformatics; Cancer Genetics; Genome Organisation and Stability. Workshops on Mutation Mechanisms; Informatics: Past experience and a Look Towards the Future; Sequencing Techniques and Automation; Ethical, Legal, Social and Political Implications of the Human Genome Project; Integrating Genome Structure and Function; Techniques and Applications of Physical Mapping; Gene Identification and Analysis; Mutation Detection; Developmental Genetics.
