JANUARY 10-11, 2008 - NIEHS SNPs Workshop

This workshop will provide an overview of the latest approaches for identifying and genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and for evaluating genetic associations across the human genome. Topics include the extraction of SNP data from public resources, approaches for SNP discovery by re-sequencing, software tools for haplotype inference and optimal SNP selection for genotyping, platform approaches for SNP genotyping, and the analyses of these datasets for genotype-phenotype studies. The workshop will include hands-on tutorials on a variety of software tools used for variation analysis.  The preliminary workshop agenda is available online at egp.gs.washington.edu/agenda.html [external link]
