DATES: January 4-10, 2010
LOCALE: The Big Island of Hawaii, USA

This session focuses on the development of novel computational methods in all aspects of Personal Genomics including genetic and epigenetic variation discovery, genotype-phenotype associations, indexing and cataloguing both normal and disease-related variation, exome capture and resequencing, and personalized medicine. This session has a broad target audience that includes algorithm developers working on sequence analysis, genomics researchers, pharmacogeneticists, and medical geneticists.

We would like to invite contributions presenting new methods in algorithm development, genomics, pharmacogenomics, chemoinformatics, and medical genetics aimed to advance the newly emerging field of Personal Genomics. In particular, we encourage submission of papers on high-throughput sequencing, analysis of whole genome genotyping assays, variation discovery, and genome-wide association studies. Papers presenting new methods should provide experimental or empirical evidence of the performance and practicality of the new methods.
