First International Conference on Functional Annotation of the Mammalian Genome (FANG 2008)
23rd to 25th January 2008
Thirty international experts will picture the latest developments.
Conference themes include:
- International large scale mutagenesis resources with presentations of EUCOMM (European Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis Program), KOMP (Knockout Mouse Project), and NorCOMM (North American Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis Project)
- Emerging centralization of phenotyping and mouse production units
- Fundamental and applied aspects of RNAi and miRNA
- Epigenetics, reprogramming, and new ways to manipulate the germ line
- Different cutting-edge mutagenesis approaches, as e.g. transposon mutagenesis and conditional gene trapping
Taken together, the First International Conference on Functional Annotation of the Mammalian Genome will focus on scientific and technological developments furthering the use of the mouse as an experimental model.
