The HGVS organises two one day meetings per year as a forum for scientists to exchange ideas and form collaborations. 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. We invite members and non-members alike to attend what promises to be a stimulating meeting.

Impact of Next Generation Sequencing
Massively parallel “next generation” sequencing has now been in use for over four years and the impact on all areas of biology has been both profound and wide-ranging. This meeting will review the impact of the new and emerging sequencing technologies in our understanding and documentation of human genetic variation. The meeting will provide an opportunity to review such topics as:
• Infrastructure needed to operate and access the technology.
• Handling the flood of data being produced.
• Data and quality standards for the new currency of genomic-scale sequencing projects.
• Translation of new technologies towards personalized medicine.

Abstracts
The Human Genome Variation Society invites submissions of abstracts for the Impact of Next Generation Sequencing. There will be two classes of abstracts, those for INGS and those on general human genome variation. You are welcome to attend the meeting without submitting an abstract. Only those registering are able to submit abstracts. Preference will be given to INGS abstracts.
