22–26 April 2013, Lake Louise, Canada
12th International Symposium on Mutation in the Genome: mutation detection & genome sequencing- detecting variants one-by-one or genome wide
The first meetings in this series concerned methodology which was developed to find mutations/variations in DNA. When we fast forward on 20 years we find cheaper and cheaper methods being used to do the same faster and faster. This has required different and new technologies to (a) analyze the output from the sequences (b) methods to assign pathogenicity to variants (c) databasing, (d) pre-conception testing and (e) personal genomes. The content of this meeting has moved in this direction.
We are all conscious of the disadvantages developing countries face in healthcare. In the area of genetic healthcare, sophisticated machines are beyond the reach of many, thus we are always wishing to showcase methodology that is affordable for all whether it be a new method or an old favourite with a new application.
We are also always wishing to present the latest and best methodlogy for scanning and sequencing and new technologies will be presented as always.
