Sequencing in Cohort Studies and Large Sample Collections

Illustration with people, letters of A T C G and a stethoscopeOn June 28-29, 2012, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), sponsored a trans-NIH workshop — Sequencing in Cohort Studies and Large Sample Collections — in Wilson Hall, Building 1, at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. Teri Manolio, M.D., Ph.D., NHGRI, and Eric Boerwinkle, Ph.D., University of Texas Health Science Center, co-chaired the workshop.

The goals/objectives of the workshop were to:

  • Provide guidance to NIH and the scientific community on the utility of sequencing large sample collections to improve the understanding and treatment of complex diseases.
  • Identify the key scientific questions that can be addressed by sequencing and define criteria for selecting samples to answer those questions.
Videos (and accompanying slides) from the workshop are available below.
