The Society aims to foster discovery and characterization of genomic variations including population distribution and phenotypic associations. We promote collection, documentation and free distribution of genomic variation information and associated clinical variations and endeavor to foster the development of the necessary methodology and informatics. Mission Statement To enhance human health through identification and characterization of changes in the genome that lead to susceptibility to illness. To this end, to collate the genomic information necessary for molecular diagnosis, research on basic mechanisms and design of treatments of human ailments. Society Journal Human Mutation is the Society journal. Members will receive a reduced subscription to the journal if they choose to subscribe. Meetings The Society holds two scientific meetings per year. One as a satellite to either the HUGO (Human Genome Organization) annual meeting or the ESHG (European Society of Human Genetics) annual meeting and one meeting is a satellite to the ASHG (American Society of Human Genetics annual meeting. The meetings are a forum for scientists to exchange ideas and form collaborations. Prominent speakers in the field are invited as well as a call for abstracts at large. The meetings are designed to update and increase knowledge of human genome variation and generally attract a stimulating and interesting collection of abstracts in all fields of human genome variation making it an ideal forum to share information and results. Past themes include: copy number variation, pathogenic or not?, pharmacogenomics, new DNA sequencing technologies, and genotype to pheontype relationships. We invite members and non-members alike to attend these meetings. The Society holds the Annual General Meeting of the members after the scientific meeting that is a satellite of the ASHG. Exhibitor''s booths The Society usually takes out an Exhibitor''s booth at the American & European Societies of Human Genetics annual meetings and sometimes the HUGO HGM meeting. GUIDELINES & RECOMMENDATIONS Members of the Society have formulated Guidelines & Recommendations on a number of topics, but especially for nomenclature of gene variations and guidelines on variation databases.

This resource gives information about the U.S. Human Genome Project, which was was a 13-year effort to to discover all the estimated 20,000-25,000 human genes and make them accessible for further biological study. The primary project goals were to: - identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, - determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, - store this information in databases, - improve tools for data analysis, - transfer related technologies to the private sector, and - address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. To help achieve these goals, researchers also studied the genetic makeup of several nonhuman organisms. These include the common human gut bacterium Escherichia coli, the fruit fly, and the laboratory mouse. These parallel studies helped to develop technology and interpret human gene function. Sponsors: The DOE Human Genome Program and the NIH National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) together sponsored the U.S. Human Genome Project.

http://www.physiome.jp/

Physiome.jp has been established to provide building blocks useful to develop in silico human. The blocks will include mathematical models and experimental data representing physiological functions. Physiome.jp is a part of the Worldwide Integrative Biomedical Research Cooperation to promote Physiome and Systems Biology. The building blocks (modules, models, biological data) representing biological functions and structure are databased and served as elements in the catalogue of human knowledge. They can be reused for deeper understanding of human physiology, eventually contributing to establishment of in silico medicine and predictive medicine. The databases (insilicoDB) at www.physiome.jp currently include a Model Database and a Morphology Database. The Model Database stores a number of modules representing biological/physiological functions. Those models are formulated by mathematical equations to describe dynamic changes of states, i.e., specific biological functions. All models in the database are written in an XML format called insilicoML. The Morphology Database provides datasets representing morphometric models of biological organs. The morphometric data are provided in several data-types including surface data such as STL and VRML and volume/voxel data. The database contents are in the public domain and aim to provide valuable models to the scientific community for model sharing/reuse, simulation, model validation, visualization of biological structure, and morphology-based dynamic simulation of biological functions. These can be accomplished by combining insilicoML models with appropriate morphology datasets. Models and related data in the insilicoDB may be freely downloaded and reused for non-profit scientific purposes. When using the models in the Model Database, we ask the users to respect the effort spent in arranging/serving the mathematical models as well as the original model construction. For any reuse of the morphology data, we also ask the users to respect the intellectual property of those who provided the original data. This should be done by acknowledging [email protected] for model reuse and by including appropriate attribution information for any reuse of the morphology data. The insilicoDB owners will not be held responsible for misuse of the Morphology Database and/or Model Database, or damage caused by use of the data and models contained therein.
