We are pleased to host the third meeting on Personal Genomes, which will begin in the morning (9am) on Friday, September 10, 2010 and conclude in the late afternoon of Sunday September 12. The first two conferences have spanned a significant milestone in human genetics - the appearance of individual, or personal, human genomes, and rough speculation suggests that as many as 1,000 full human genomes will be completed by fall 2010. Ultra high throughput sequencing strategies have now been used to study more individual genomes – and yet few scientists, and even fewer clinical geneticists, are familiar with the implications of this new data. This meeting will address the issues of individual genomes being part of research and routine clinical medicine within the next few years. Topics Include:
Setting the Tone
Whole Genome Studies & Cancer
Genomes in Inherited Disease
Ethics
Scanning the Exome & Personal Transcriptomes
Data Analysis & Visualization Tools
Future Technologies for Personal Genomics
