Genetics 2010: Model Organisms To Human Biology Meeting

The Genetics Society of America (GSA) is pleased to announce its meeting, “GENETICS 2010: Model Organisms to Human Biology,” June 12-15, 2010, at the Sheraton Boston, Massachusetts. This biannual meeting brings together investigators who study genetic models in flies, yeast, fungi, mice and other non-human organisms, with researchers in human genetics. Keynote speakers include Carol Greider, the 2009 Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine, Gary Ruvkun, a 2008 Lasker Award winner, and Jeremy Berg, Director, NIGMS/NIH.
