A large amount of data from diverse studies proves this perception inaccurate at best, and at worst, an impediment for further efforts to characterize the variation in the human genome. Because variation in genotype and environment are the fundamental basis to understand phenotypic variability and heritability at the population level, identifying the range of human genetic variation is crucial to the development of personalized nutrition and medicine. The Human Variome Project (HVP; http://www.humanvariomeproject.org/) was proposed initially to systematically collect mutations that cause human disease and create a cyber infrastructure to link locus specific databases (LSDB). We report here the discussions and recommendations from the 2008 HVP planning meeting held in San Feliu de Guixols, Spain, in May 2008  ISSN : 1098-1004  Journal Name : Human Mutation  Volume : 30  Issue Number : 4  Publishing Year : 1430 AH 2009 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Sunday, July 3, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email جمانة الأعمى Al-Aama, Jumana Researcher Doctorate jalama@kau.edu.sa Files File Name Type Description  29893.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
