This online real-time presentation focused on multiplexed whole-genome assays for studying genetic variation relevant to pharmacogenomic and disease-association research, with reference to the International HapMap Project.

The International HapMap Project will soon generate high-resolution maps of common genetic variation in the human genome. Effective use of this haplotype information in linkage disequilibrium (LD)-based pharmacogenomic and disease-association studies will require accurate and cost-effective means of genotyping hundreds of thousands of SNPs in large numbers of samples. The experimental value of whole-genome genotyping approaches will be realized to the extent that SNP selection and multiplex levels are not constrained by assay limitation, which in turn will permit previously unavailable scientific query in discovery research.

The 1½– hour presentation addressed:

  • Methods and impacts of assay multiplexing
  • Enhancing assay specificity through enzymatic discrimination
  • Unconstrained SNP selection for improved experimental value
  • Whole-genome content design
  • Novel experimental capacities afforded by whole-genome genotyping

An extensive Q&A session, with worldwide participation followed.

Participate in this Virtual Seminar. You can attend this real-time tutorial from anywhere you have an Internet connection.

One Low Registration Fee of $149 entitled you to a site registration, which enables you and unlimited additional colleagues and staff to participate, whether gathered around a computer or in a conference room with speakerphone and screen.

It Couldn’t Be Easier! You’ll view the presentation over your Web browser. On a separate telephone line (which can be put on speakerphone), you will hear the audio and be able to ask questions of the presenter and moderator. You can also submit questions by your keyboard.

Time Well Spent! No travel, no time away. GEN’s hour-and-a-half virtual seminars are authoritative presentations by industry leaders that include ample time for questions and discussion. Registrations will be limited to ensure interactive participation.
