Planning the human variome project: the Spain report.

چکیده
The remarkable progress in characterizing the human genome sequence, exemplified by the Human Genome Project and the HapMap Consortium, has led to the perception that knowledge and the tools (e.g., microarrays) are sufficient for many if not most biomedical research efforts. A large amount of data from diverse studies proves this perception inaccurate at best, and at worst, an impediment for further efforts to characterize the variation in the human genome. Because variation in genotype and environment are the fundamental basis to understand phenotypic variability and heritability at the population level, identifying the range of human genetic variation is crucial to the development of personalized nutrition and medicine. The Human Variome Project (HVP; http://www.humanvariomeproject.org/) was proposed initially to systematically collect mutations that cause human disease and create a cyber infrastructure to link locus specific databases (LSDB). We report here the discussions and recommendations from the 2008 HVP planning meeting held in San Feliu de Guixols, Spain, in May 2008.

Background With next gen sequencing, the human genome can be sequenced in a few weeks and for a few thousand dollars. Capability is no longer the issue: interpretation is. Assembling information to assist in interpreting the consequences of all base pair changes is the mission of the Human Variome Project (HVP). InSiGHT has collaborated with the HVP, and now, due its coherence and international...
