10th International Hugo mutation database initiative meeting, 19 April 2001, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The 10th International Mutation Database Initiative Meeting was held on April 19, 2001, in conjunction with the annual Human Genome Meeting in Edinburgh, Scotland. Key points of the meeting are described here. The BiSC WayStation was presented as an operational, viable beginning to the solution for the lack of centralized variation collection structures, with a number of possibilities, notably the BiSC Central Database and HGBASE, as candidates for storing the data. Exploration of new avenues of funding for this project, affiliation with Wiley-Liss, and the establishment of the Mutation Database Initiative (MDI) as a society were also discussed.
