Event - 1st Golden Helix Symposium on ‘Copy Number Variation and Genomic Alterations in Health and Disease’

Chromosome analysis remains one of the most commonly performed diagnostic genetic tests. Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) allows analysis of the genome at a significantly higher resolution than previously possible. The Institute of Biomedical Genomics Research recognizes the new challenges raised by the array-CGH technology and organizes the 1st GOLDEN HELIX Symposium on 'Copy number variation and genomic alterations in health and disease' in Athens, Greece. The Symposium, which will be held in the DIVANI Caravel Hotel (member of the Leading Hotels of the World; http://www.divanis.com/caravel/default-en.htm), includes lectures by more than 20 international leading scientists in the field and covers all aspects of this exciting new field, from technologies and population genomics, through chromosomal and other disorders, to validation and development of a uniform array-CGH design.
