With the sponsorship of ``Fundacio La Caixa'' we met in Barcelona, November
21st and 22nd, to analyze the reasons why, after the completion of the human

the major challenges that need to be overcome in order to complete the human
gene catalog.Comment: Report and discussion resulting from the `Fundacio La Caixa' gene
