'Multiplexed, Whole-Genome Genotyping' Live Webcast to Take Place July 21, 2004.LARCHMONT, N.Y. -- A virtual seminar on "Multiplexed, Whole-Genome Genotyping," presented by Genetic Engineering News (www.GENseminars.com), will take place on July 21, 2004, at 12 p.m. EST. This live webcast--the latest in GEN's ongoing series of educational virtual seminars for biotechnology/biopharmaceutical researchers--will address multiplexed whole-genome assays for the study of genetic variation as relevant to pharmacogenomic and disease-association research, with reference to the International HapMap Project The International HapMap Project is an organization whose goal is to develop a haplotype map of the human genome (the HapMap), which will describe the common patterns of human genetic variation. . Presenting the talk will be David Barker, Ph.D., Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Illumina, Inc., who has contributed to post-genomic research with the development of widely used imaging, sequencing, and microarray technologies. Also presenting will be Kevin Gunderson Kevin Gunderson (Born September 16, 1984 in Portland, Oregon) is a Minor League Baseball pitcher who played for the Oregon State Beavers of Oregon State University before being drafted by the Atlanta Braves. , Ph.D., Principal Scientist, Illumina, Inc., whose research has focused on novel assay and array technologies.

This 90-minute virtual seminar will include/address: an overview of international efforts to define the human haploptype map; methods and impacts of assay multiplexing; enhanced assay specificity through enzymatic discrimination; whole-genome content design; unconstrained SNP SNP Scottish National Party Noun 1. SNP - (genetics) genetic variation in a DNA sequence that occurs when a single nucleotide in a genome is altered; SNPs are usually considered to be point mutations that have been evolutionarily selection for improved experimental value; and novel experimental capacities afforded by whole-genome genotyping. "High-resolution maps of common genetic variation in the human genome The human genome is the genome of Homo sapiens, which is composed of 24 distinct pairs of chromosomes (22 autosomal + X + Y) with a total of approximately 3 billion DNA base pairs containing an estimated 20,000–25,000 genes. are almost here," says John Sterling, Editor-in-Chief of Genetic Engineering News. "This seminar will illustrate novel techniques that can best be used to mine this information for pharmacogenomic and disease-association studies." Registrations for "Multiplexed, Whole-Genome Genotyping" are limited to ensure interactive participation. Following the presentation will be an extensive Q & A session, with worldwide participation.
