Chromosome 1 Workshop 97
A mini-chromosome 1 workshop was held April 25-27 at Duke University, hosted by Jeff Vance. Because of restricted funding for chromosome workshops, only a limited number of participants were able to attend. The focus of the workshop was on map integration rather than on gathering information from the entire chromosome 1 community. Also, for the first time, thanks to participation by the Sanger Centre, serious discussions on large-scale mapping and sequencing of chromosome 1 were possible. A workshop report has been written and will be published in Cytogenetics and Cell Genetics. The full report and abstracts are now accessible from this page. The highlight of the meeting was a visit to the Duke University Primate Center where we saw lots of lemurs and other prosimians ---->
