1st NHGRI-funded Conference: Haplotype Analysis of Population & Pedigree Data in Association Studies

May 7 - 8, 2008 Birmingham, AL

Haplotype analysis plays an important role in association studies but also poses great challenges to scientists with the availability of large number of dense SNP markers. This 2-day meeting will review the up-to-date methodological development of haplotype analysis and explore unanswered questions on how best to perform the haplotype analysis and to what extent and in what context the haplotype analysis can increase power for association studies. It is aimed at established investigators, post-doctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students. Women, members of underrepresented minority groups and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
