	1st International Summer School in Functional Genomics (International workshops, meetings or symposia)
	Place	The Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
	Date	August 13, 2007 - August 24, 2007
	Who	Organizers: Niels Tommerup, Zeynep Tümer, Lars Allan Larsen, Jan Gorodkin
	Abstract	The aim of the Summer School is to bring young scientific talents at master student/pre-phd-level together from different countries. The main theme is exploration of genes and function of genomic regions through chromosomal and genomic rearrangements. The course will include practical experiments on genome mapping, in situ hybridization, sequencing and bioinformatics, starting from novel chromosomal aberrations detected in a model disorder. The students will assess whether novel candidate genes could be involved in disease development through experimentation. Speakers Niels Tommerup, Copenhagen. The human genome (Bache et al.
