SUMMARY:Sequencing hundreds of humans - how to collect the data efficientl
 y and make sense of it - Richard Durbin. Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute

DESCRIPTION:New technologies are dropping the cost of DNA sequencing by tw
 o orders of magnitude.  We can therefore consider sequencing hundreds of h
 umans to gain a comprehensive picture of human genetic variation.  However
 \, the way our genomes are related is via the genomes of our remote ancest
 ors\, which are inaccessible.  Just now my plans for this talk are to try 
 to explain the nature of this hidden variable problem\, why inference on i
 t is hard\, and how some of the current approximations work.  I believe th
 ere is scope for improvement.
