7th Australasian Gene Mapping Workshop: Comparative Genomics

A conference on the application of sequence data in various species to aid in gene discovery. Applications in humans, animals, plants, fungi. Use of model genomes to aid human gene function identification. Use of human genome to aid in animal disease gene discovery. Use of domesticated species to aid in discovery of genes for complex trait in humans and other species. Available databases and applications

This meeting is a revival of the workshops held between 1990 and 1995 and is the 7th in the series. It is not part of the series started by the Boden Conference organised by Eric Moses and followed by the 2001 Human Gene Mapping Meeting in Cairns organised by Lyn Griffiths. It will not concentrate on mapping programs and theory although contributions in this area are welcome.
