Mutations, structural variations, and genome-wide resequencing: where to from here in our understand
Mutations, structural variations, and genome-wide resequencing: where to from here in our understanding of disease and evolution?
The 9th International Symposium on Mutations in the Genome, Mutation Detection 2007, was held on 23-27 September 2007 in Xiamen, China. Meeting participants reported on a broad range of advances in mutation detection technologies and their applications, including developments in SNP genotyping systems applicable to point-of-care diagnostic testing; and emerging views on structural variation, high-throughput sequencing and the importance of bioinformatic tools to support the growing amounts of genome variation data. This meeting report summaries the major themes presented at the meeting. Hum Mutat 0, 1-5, 2008. (c) 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
