Human Genome Variation: Linking Genotypes to Clinical Phenotypes
	Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2001 , Honolulu, Hawaii, USA January 3-7, 2001
	This year the first draft of the human genome sequence will be available as well as a large sample of our species' genetic variability in the form of large polymorphisms databases. Lying buried in human genetic variability is the source not only of all genetic disease, but the entire range of normal phenotypic variation, including susceptibilities to pathogens and environmental factors, and individual differences in response to drug treatment. At the same time, the microarray technology is enabling for the first time large-scale genotyping and gene expression profiling of human populations. Databases comprising gene expression profiles of normal and diseased tissues at several stages of pathogenesis or from different clinical states are also now becoming available. The PSB 2001 session "Human Genome Variation: Linking Genotypes to Clinical Phenotypes" aims to provide a timely forum on the computational challenges to correlate the impending flood of high-throughput genotyping and gene expression profiling data with clinical phenotypes, and to address the forthcoming problems in the utilization of this information in human genetics, pharmacogenetics, populational genetics, and clinical studies.
