For those of you interested in Big Data and its applications to human disease: 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 include sessions representing leading examples of genetic discovery efforts for common diseases using a range of technologies, including genotyping arrays as well as targeted, exome and whole-genome sequencing. We will also hear presentations on 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 important recent efforts in clinical translation, 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.
