This second meeting builds on last year’s presentations showing a significant milestone in human genetics – the first production of “personal genomes.” 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.
