A computational biology lab that finds hypotheses and rules in genome data.

AboutAbout the lab
Finding rules in genome data
This lab studies bioinformatics, which analyzes genome sequence data, the blueprint of living organisms, with methods from information science.
To understand organisms built according to genome sequences as systems, it is necessary to clarify the various structures, mechanisms, and functions that organisms have.
To that end, the lab develops algorithms that find hypotheses and rules in accumulated genome data and investigates them through computational experiments.
In education, the lab's goal is to train information scientists who understand biology.
Key terms
- Genome
- The entirety of the genetic information that serves as an organism's blueprint. It is accumulated as sequence data and used for analysis
- Algorithm
- A procedure for computation. Here, it refers to the procedure for finding hypotheses and rules in genome data
- Bioinformatics
- A field that analyzes biological data with the theories and methods of information science to study how organisms work
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to understand organisms, which are built according to genome sequences, as systems. Using information science theory and knowledge discovery methods, it develops algorithms that find hypotheses and rules in genome data and conducts computational experiments.
