Aizawa Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab exploring the non-genic regions that make up 99% of the human genome.
AboutAbout the lab
Does the human genome really need to be 3 billion base pairs long?
The Aizawa Lab studies the relationship between the human genome sequence and cell function.
Genes (ORFs) account for only 1% of the human genome.
The lab re-examines preconceptions about the remaining non-coding regions and explores new causal relationships between genome sequence and cell function (the Genomic Code).
The keywords of the research are minimal genomes, genome design, and large-scale genome synthesis.
Key terms
- Genome
- The entire set of genetic information of an organism. In humans, it is a DNA sequence of about 3 billion base pairs
- Non-coding region
- The part of the genome that does not form genes, which are the blueprints for proteins
- Transposon
- A segment of DNA that can move within the genome and change its position
ResearchResearch themes
Genes (ORFs) account for only 1% of the human genome, and the rest is non-coding regions. The lab re-examines preconceptions about these regions and explores new causal relationships between genome sequence and cell function (the Genomic Code).
