	Sequencing the Human Exome You are invited to join our panel of experts on Wednesday, October 14 2009, for a live, online educational seminar, "Sequencing the Human Exome: Approaches, Methodologies, and Challenges". Date: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 Time: 12:00 noon ET; 9:00 a.m. PT; 4:00 p.m. GMT Duration: 1 hour Register now and submit your questions LIVE to the experts during the webinar! For more information and complimentary registration visit: www.sciencemag.org/webinar Sequence capture technology reduces the genome complexity by enriching a selective portion of the genome, targeting anywhere from 100 kb to 30 Mb of the human genome.  When coupled to next generation sequencing, this technology readily facilitates the resequencing of candidate genes and regions previously identified from genomewide association studies.  The ultimate goal is to identify possible genetic variants that can be further tested and validated as potentially disease-causing mutations.  These technologies are particularly applicable to Mendelian disease studies, detection of genetic variants in cancer models, and population studies.  In this webinar, the panelists will present their own data, defining the performance criteria necessary for using sequence capture in combination with next generation sequencing, such as percent of target sequence detected, uniformity of coverage, and depth of coverage for variants.   During the webinar, you will: • Learn about detailed experimental designs • Gain insight into important performance criteria • Review recent projects completed by experts in the field • Have your questions answered live  Participants: Michael Dean, Ph.D. Center for Cancer Research, NIH Bethesda, MD Stephan Züchner, M.D. Miami Institute for Human Genomics Miami, FL Pauline C. Ng, Ph.D. J Craig Venter Institute San Diego, CA REGISTER NOW AT: www.sciencemag.org/webinar Produced by the Science/AAAS Business Office and sponsored by Roche and 454 Sequencing .
