Shigenobu Lab (Genome Informatics)
Machine-translated · View original
A genome informatics lab that uses genome science to understand symbiosis between living organisms.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding symbiosis through genome science.
The Shigenobu Lab (Genome Informatics) uses genome science to understand symbiosis between living organisms.
The lab aims to clarify the molecular mechanisms that support symbiosis and the evolutionary paths behind it, and to understand both its diversity and its shared principles.
Combining experiments and bioinformatics without separating the two, the lab mainly studies aphids, a group of insects, as a model for symbiosis research.
The lab works at the National Institute for Basic Biology (Okazaki, Aichi) and the TARA Center at the University of Tsukuba, where it was launched in April 2024.
Key terms
- Bioinformatics
- A field that uses computers to analyze large amounts of biological data, such as DNA sequences, in order to study life phenomena
- Genome editing
- A technology for rewriting the genes of living organisms at targeted sites. It is used to study symbiosis at the molecular and genetic level
NewsLab news
View More ↗ResearchResearch themes
Living organisms live within networks of connections with many other organisms, and symbiosis is also a major source of new traits. The lab uses genome science and genome editing technology to investigate the molecular mechanisms that support symbiosis and the processes of its evolution.
