Enabling Cancer Research Through TCGA - On November 27-28, 2012, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) held its second annual scientific symposium at The Crystal Gateway Marriott in Crystal City, Va. Through collaborative workshops, poster sessions and plenary presentations, TCGA investigators from around the world shared their novel biological discoveries, analytical methods and translational approaches using TCGA data.
This five-lecture series by top experts in genomics will enhance health-care professionals' understanding of the intersection between genomics and medicine. The series is sponsored by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), in collaboration with Suburban Hospital and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Each lecture takes place at Suburban Hospital's lower level auditorium at 8600 Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda, Md. All are welcome to the hour-long lectures, which begin at 8 a.m. on the first Friday of the month. More: http://www.genome.gov/27549874
On September 12-13, 2012, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), sponsored a workshop — Implicating Sequence Variants in Human Disease — at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda, in Bethesda, Md. Teri Manolio, M.D., Ph.D., NHGRI, and Daniel MacArthur, Ph.D., Massachusetts General Hospital, co-chaired the workshop. The goal of the workshop was to develop guidelines for investigators, reviewers and editors to consider in assessing the evidence implicating sequence variants or genes as causal in a specific disease.

The National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research (NACHGR) advises the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), on genetics, genomic research, training and programs related to the human genome initiative. NACHGR performs second-level peer review for grant applications, and determines the program priorities for NHGRI and the goals for the government's efforts in the International Human Genome Project (HGP).
NACHGR meets three times a year. The Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) Research Advisors (ERA), a working group of NACHGR, provides advice and guidance to NHGRI on the ethical, legal and social implications of genomic research.
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.
Goal was 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.
On June 20-21, 2012, The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) hosted a special symposium, Genomics of model organisms and human biology: Insights from the modENCODE Project, at the Ruth L. Kirschstein Auditorium, Natcher Conference Center, NIH Main Campus, Bethesda, Md. The goal of the symposium was to celebrate the project's accomplishments.
