Meeting Ends
Information
ASHG-NW is a satellite meeting before ASHG
50th Annual Meeting. You do not need to be registered for
the ASHG meeting to participate. Following the cancellation
of INW3, we have scheduled an informal meeting to coincide with the 50th
Annual ASHG Meeting. Again the focus of this nomenclature workshop will
be to address the challenge of the genomic sequence data as it emerges.
Participation will be open to all, but it is requested that people notify
us of their intent to attend. You may also be interested in the HUGO
Mutation Database Initiative satellite meeting held the following day:
Tuesday 3rd October, 2000.
Funding
Currently there is no funding for this workshop.
