WEBCAST SERIES: ACHIEVING GENOME-WIDE SUCCESS IN SNP & CNV STUDIES
Part 1:
Understanding the Challenges in Genome-Wide Association Studies

Presenter: Dr. Christophe Lambert, Golden Helix CEO and Co-Chair of the FDA MAQC CNV Team
When: February 18, 2008 - 11:00 AM EST
Abstract: In Part 1 of this webcast series we explore some of the more persistent and major challenges that have emerged in over twenty genome-wide association studies carried out by us and our collaborators over the past year. We also examine strategies to overcome them.
