CHROMOSOME 20 WORKSHOP

人类基因组某些领域的研究活动相当激烈， 而其他区域，如20号染色体，则相反地不活跃。这些 出现差异是因为研究活动，在全球努力的早期 描述人类基因组的特征，是由对特定的兴趣 到目前为止已被识别的基因或疾病。这样做的目的是 研讨会将是(1)确定那些科学家的真实身份，或 可能很严重，对20号染色体感兴趣；(2)在早期促进， 研究该染色体的小组之间的国际互动；(3) 确定需要开发以促进工作的具体资源 在这条染色体上；以及(4)总结、整理和分发 20号染色体上的资源和信息。

Research activity in some areas of the human genome is quite intense, while other regions, like chromosome 20 are contrastingly inactive. These differences arose because research activity, early in the worldwide effort to characterize the human genome, is directed by interest in specific genes or diseases that have thus far been identified. The purpose of this workshop will be (1) to identify those scientist with a real, or potentially serious, interest in chromosome 20; (2) to promote, early on, international interactions between groups working on this chromosome; (3) to identify specific resources that need to be developed to promote work on this chromosome; and (4) to summarize, collate, and distribute resources and information on chromosome 20.
