Analysis, Management and Application of SNP Data
	Pacific Symposium on BioComputing 2000 , Honolulu, Hawaii January 5-9, 2000
	The PSB 2000 session "Human Genome Variation: Analysis, Management and Application of SNP Data" aims to provide a timely forum in this area, bringing together computer scientists, bioinformatics specialists and biologists, from academia and industry, to address the forthcoming problems in the utilization of SNP information. We encourage academic, industrial and government scientists to submit manuscripts. In addition to a session for oral presentation of novel peer-reviewed contributions, there will be a panel discussion devised to foster exchange between industry and academic scientists. Participants are invited to discuss their issues with other peers in this panel session. Posters and computer demonstrations are also requested to complement the session. Topics The contributions should pose and discuss a specific problem that the biocomputing community will need to address, describe models, or propose specific solutions to a problem. Sequence polymorphisms will be the common theme, but the computational or theoretical contributions can span areas ranging from population genetics and evolution to data visualization and management. Among the anticipated topics are: Automation of large scale SNP genotyping. Data management and integration for SNP genotyping systems. Evolutionary aspects of genome variability and SNP analysis. Ontologies for human genome variation. SNP database mining and knowledge discovery. Statistical methods for SNP analysis. Tools for high throughput SNP discovery and screening. Visualization and analysis of SNP data.
	Organized by:	Francisco De La Vega & Martin Kreitman
	Deadline for Abstracts:	July 12, 1999
	Registration:	Submissions PSB will publish accepted full papers in an archival proceedings indexed in MEDLINE. All contributed papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed by at least three referees. A limited number of papers will be selected for a 30-minute oral presentation to the full assembled conference. Accepted poster abstracts will be distributed at the conference separately from the archival Proceedings. Please prepare your submission according to the instructions found at the Web page: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/psb/cfp-snp.html
