The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) sponsored the workshop - Future Opportunities for Genome Sequencing and Beyond: A Planning Workshop for the National Human Genome Research Institute - at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center.

The objectives of the workshop were to:

  • Discuss the scientific questions and opportunities that can be substantially addressed by large-scale genomics studies, starting with genome sequencing but also considering other genomic technologies.
  • Consider options for future NHGRI programs that would address these questions and opportunities.
