Project Summary The application seeks partial support for the Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar on Quantitative Genetics and Genomics to be held in Ventura, California on February 11-17, 2023. The subtitle of the conference is “Leveraging high-throughput phenotyping techniques to study complex traits”. Complex diseases (e.g. cardiovascular disease) and complex or quantitative traits (e.g. obesity) are of great importance to human health. Over the last decade there has been a revolution in research on these diseases due to availability of DNA variant genotyping, genome sequencing and other “omics” technologies. This revolution is continuing with the availability of enormous datasets such as the UK biobank and USA equivalent with 1,000,000 people all with health records and imputed genome sequence. Extracting maximum knowledge from such data is challenging and this conference will hear of the latest research on this topic. The outcomes from this research include new drug targets and information to support personalised medicine. The overall aim of the conference and seminar is to bring together scientists working in the field of quantitative genetics and genomics to exchange information on the latest results in the field and to discuss the implications of these results. By creating an environment for networking, this conference will promote communication between scientists in the field, encourage new collaborations among those attending, and build a community for early career scientists. The funding sought from NIH is to support young scientists to attend the seminar and conference by assisting them with travel and registration costs.

项目摘要 该申请为戈登研究会议和戈登研究研讨会寻求部分支持 定量遗传学和基因组学将于2023年2月11日至17日在加利福尼亚州的文图拉（Ventura）举行。 该会议是“利用高通量表型技术来研究复杂的特征”。 疾病（例如心血管疾病）和复杂或定量性状（例如肥胖症）非常重要 对人类健康。在过去的十年中，由于 DNA变异基因分型，基因组测序和其他“ OMICS”技术的可用性。这场革命是 继续使用巨大数据集，例如英国生物库和美国等同于 100万人都有健康记录和估算的基因组序列。从中提取最大知识 这样的数据具有挑战性，该会议将听取有关此主题的最新研究。结果 这项研究包括新的药物目标和信息，以支持个性化医学。 会议和开创性的总体目的是将在定量领域工作的科学家汇集在一起 遗传学和基因组学以交换有关该领域最新结果的信息，并讨论含义 这些结果。通过创建网络环境，该会议将促进交流 在该领域的科学家之间，鼓励参与者之间的新合作，并建立一个社区 对于早期的职业科学家。来自NIH的资金是为了支持年轻科学家参加开创性 和会议通过协助他们进行旅行和注册费用。
