Genome Informatics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that compares and analyzes genome information to uncover biological phenomena and the evolution of organisms.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading genomes to understand how life comes to be
The Genome Informatics Lab reads genome information, the totality of the genetic information an organism carries, through information processing and comparative analysis.
The lab aims to elucidate various biological phenomena as well as the diversity of organisms and the process of their evolution.
In addition to information analysis using large-scale computers, the lab also carries out biological experiments such as DNA sequencing.
Research themes include genome analysis of plants and viruses and analysis of biodiversity.
Key terms
- Genome
- The complete set of genetic information needed to make an organism, written as a sequence of letters in DNA
- DNA sequencing
- Reading the order of the four types of letters lined up in DNA using specialized equipment
- Biodiversity
- The breadth of how many different kinds of living things exist in a given place or on the whole Earth
