The Genomics of Common Diseases 2014
Nature Genetics, in association with the Wellcome Trust is pleased to announce the eighth Genomics of Common Diseases meeting. This past year has seen a continuing increase in the scale of genomic data sets as well as important strides in identifying functionally and clinically relevant genetic variation. The conference will present leading genetic discovery efforts for common diseases, as well as approaches to characterize regulatory variation and to use model organisms as a way to move from association to function and increase the mechanistic understanding of disease. The conference will also include presentations on recent clinical translation efforts, including newborn screening, non-invasive diagnostics and the interpretation of clinical sequencing, as well as a session surveying a range of global genomic medicine programs.
