Zusammenfassung: The greater New York metropolitan area has become a leading center for research on chromosome biology and function, as well as for research at the interface between chromosome integrity and cell cycle regulation. The Genome Integrity Discussion Group meets four to five times each year and provides an opportunity for researchers active in this area to exchange ideas and form research collaborations.

Zusammenfassung: A workshop on the science and practical issues of small animal imaging will be held at Stanford on November 5-8, 2008. The workshop will cover new commercially available small animal imaging systems (optical, radionuclide, x-ray, magnetic resonance, and ultrasound) and how researchers use these small animal imaging systems to study the molecular basis of disease noninvasively and aid in the discovery, development, and monitoring of novel molecular-based treatments.

Zusammenfassung: The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), founded in 1948, is the primary professional membership organization for human geneticists in the Americas. The nearly 8,000 members include researchers, academicians, clinicians, laboratory practice professionals, genetic counselors, nurses and others involved in or with special interest in human genetics.

The principal objectives of ASHG include

(l) providing venues to bring investigators opportunities to share their research findings in the many areas of endeavors in human genetics;

(2) informing health professionals, legislators, health policy makers, and the general public about all aspects of human genetics; and

(3) facilitating interactions between geneticists and other communities including policy makers, industry, educators, and patient and public advocacy groups.
