In association with the annual meeting of the ASHG (American Society of Human Genetics), the HUGO Mutation Database Initiative is hosting its 5th International Meeting in Denver on the 27th October, 1998. The initiative aims to co-ordinate the collection and distribution of accurate information via the www. In earlier meetings the emphasis was on identifying the issues and hearing of new projects and proposals. Lately, with the two meetings per year and with the ease of electronic publication a one day meeting appears appropriate with talks mainly being working group reports. Some talks however will be invited. It is expected that registrants will take the opportunity to present new databases or ideas as posters. Talks may be invited from these. Anyone interested in this worldwide Initiative is invited to attend. We are charging a registration fee to offset costs and lunch will be included. If you are interested in participating, please fill in the registration form (URL below) as soon as possible for organisational reasons.
Poster entries are to submit abstracts as soon as possible.
Sponsorship is invited from those companies interested in mutation databases.
