Unveiling Genome-Wide DNA Variation in 15 Diverse Mouse Strains: Using Mouse Genetics & Genomics to Understand Human Disease
September 26 & 27, 2006
National Institute of Environment Health Sciences
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
What to Expect
Hands-on computer training in the use of the genetics/genomics data generated by the Resequencing and SNP Discovery Project(http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/collab/crg/mouse.cfm), directed towards the development and study of mouse models of human disease,
Active discussion to identify ways to study human disease susceptibility through development of more appropriate mouse models, and
Information exchange on effective approaches to assimilating studies in toxicology and genetics to more thoroughly understand the relationship between the environment and susceptibility to disease
Who Should Attend
Individuals within the scientific community interested in:
Genetic susceptibility to disease,
Mouse genetics/genomics,
SNP and QTL analysis, and
Especially those interested in learning how to incorporate genetics information into their study of the disease process
General Overview
The 2nd Annual Conference has been organized to highlight the completion of the Resequencing and SNP Discovery Project(http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/collab/crg/mouse.cfm) and to facilitate interaction among scientists interested in bridging the gap between human genetic susceptibility to disease and the design of appropriate mouse models to study it.
