Biological Information Systems Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses information science to decode biological information such as genomes and proteins.
AboutAbout the lab
Decoding biological information through information science.
The Biological Information Systems Science Lab applies information science to "biological information," typified by genome sequence data, with the aim of understanding biological phenomena.
Specifically, the lab works on genome sequence analysis, gene expression analysis, protein function analysis, and more.
The lab also places importance on releasing its analysis results as databases that are easy for experimental researchers to use.
The lab's website introduces it under the name "Kinoshita-Nishi Lab."
Key terms
- Genome
- The entirety of the genetic information an organism has. It is recorded as the sequence of bases in DNA.
- Gene expression level
- The degree to which the information of a gene is being used and is active within cells.
- Protein
- A molecule made of linked amino acids. Proteins are produced based on genetic information and perform a variety of functions in the body.
