Abstract
Mouse Genetics 2011 was organized by the Genetics Society of America in Washington, DC, as a joint meeting of the 25th International Mammalian Genome Conference and the 10th Complex Traits Community Meeting. While celebrating the incredible progress made by the field in the last 25 years, this year’s joint meeting illuminated the incredible possibility for the future. As genomelevel studies have revolutionized the pace for discovering the genetic underpinnings of human disease, an unprecedented opportunity exists for integrating those findings with model organism genetics to achieve the common goals of both understanding and improving human disease. The keynote address, Verne Chapman Lecture, plenary presentations, and numerous platform talks all described work highlighting advances where the interface of mouse models and human genetics has led to an extraordinary understanding of the mechanisms of a disease or propelled a discovery into clinical development. Overarching themes: highlights from the keynote address and Verne Chapman Lecture
