Lucia Hindorff: All right.
Thank you very much.
Welcome to the Integrating Genomic Sequencing Into Clinical Care - The CSER and Beyond Meeting.
We’re very pleased to have everybody here for the strategic planning/program review
meeting today.
In light of this being such a full day, and hopefully full of active discussion, we’d
like to start out with introductions.
So I’ll go ahead and get started.
My name is Lucia Hindorff.
I am a program director in the division of Genomic Medicine at NHGRI.
Given that we have so many people here, if people could just start with, maybe, just
their name, affiliation, and whether they’re a CSER investigator or not, that would be
great.

So as you can tell, we have a diverse and talented group here today.
Before we get started with Eric Green’s talk, I’ve been asked to give a few logistical
announcements.
Please be aware that we are webcasting this meeting, so everything that you say will be
captured for all eternity.
The other thing is -- Capital Consulting staff, so can we have Sandra -- wave your hand -- she
and her staff will be at the registration desk all day, should you need anything.
Box lunches -- people should have received forms to pay for box lunches already; if you
still have your form at your seat, please do not get up right now, but hold up your
hand and somebody will come up and collect it for you.
The hotel checkout is at noon.
Transportation can be arranged by the hotel concierge; please sign up before the end of
the meeting.
We will have WiFi, so hopefully you’ve figured out the “hmeeting” wireless network.
And, finally, for those who like to tweet, you can follow at hashtag “#CSERandBeyond”,
which is here at the bottom of the screen.
Okay.
So with that, I think we’re actually ready to get started with the meeting.
Before I introduce Eric, I just wanted to point out some homework that I got from Eric
Boerwinkle, actually for me, which is to read this article in the Wall Street Journal about
a family who had their genome sequenced and some hard decisions they had to make.
So I think this is a very timely topic; we’re, of course, all eager to talk about it today.
And it’s nice to know that it’s getting some attention in the public press, as well.
So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce Eric Green, Director of the NHGRI, who will
talk to us about setting the context for this meeting.
Eric?
Eric Green: Thank you.
