Abstract

DNA 2000, an international symposium on state-of-the-art genetic analysis, was held at the Back Bay Hilton in Boston, Massachusetts, on 1–3 June, 2000. Meeting highlights are described. The meeting was organized and sponsored by the California Separation Science Society (CaSSS; www.casss.org) and other co-sponsors including the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO). DNA 2000 brought together a group of specialists in DNA detection and analysis methods from around the world in a venue presenting not only new technologies but also their applications in candidate gene studies, molecular diagnosis, analysis of complex diseases, and even studying the origin and evolution of humans.
