This international meeting will focus upon the evolving possibilities
for exploiting single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the study of complex
genomes. Aspects to be covered will span basic methodology issues,
applications, population genetics, bio-informatics, and ethical
dimensions. Reports of last years meeting can be found in Science (1998,
281:1787-9), Nature Genetics (1998, 20:217-8), and European Journal
Human Genetics (1999, 7:98-101; 2000, 8:154-156).

Organizers: Anthony Brookes, Pui-Yan Kwok, Ulf Landegren, Peter Oefner,
Scott White.

Venue: Sagebrush Inn, Taos, New Mexico. A venue with Southwestern charm,
