From Genome Function to Biomedical Insight: ENCODE and Beyond

Meeting banner

March 10-11, 2015

Natcher Conference Center
Building 45, Room E1/E2
NIH Campus
Bethesda, Md.

On March 10-11, 2015, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) sponsored the workshop - From Genome Function to Biomedical Insight: ENCODE and Beyond - at the Natcher Conference Center on the NIH main campus.

The objectives of the workshop were to:

  1. Discuss the scientific questions and opportunities for better understanding genome function and applying that knowledge to basic biological questions and disease studies through large-scale genomics studies.
  2. Consider options for future NHGRI projects that would address these questions and opportunities.
