A survey of common terms in abstracts submitted to HGM2001. The categories on the horizontal axis were derived from searches for the presence of the following terms: polymorphism^* or SNP^*; bioinformatic^* or comput^*; function^* and genom^*; compar^* and genom^*; disease^* or disorder^*; proteom^* or protein^* and structur^*; epigenet^* or methylat^* or heterochrom^*; RNA and splic^* or process^*. Individual abstracts can appear in more than one category, so little can be concluded from the absolute heights of columns.
