Mutation detection 2001: Sixth International Symposium on Mutations in the Human Genome, May 3-7, 2001, Bled, Slovenia.

摘要

Mutation Detection 2001, an international symposium on human mutations and mutation detection methodologies, was held in Bled, Republic of Slovenia, on May 3-7, 2001. The event was sponsored by the Human Genome Organization (HUGO) and several other co-sponsors. It provided an important forum for not only defining the state-of-the-art in mutation detection methodologies but also a valuable chance for international collaboration. A special issue of Human Mutation with articles derived from the symposium is scheduled for publication in early 2002. Meeting highlights are described at http://www.mutations2001.bled.si.
