| Summary | Acquisition and analysis of information related to SNP in genes of human genome |
| Major Features of Project | From the Goals of Millennium Project ( http://snp.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/mission_ja.html , Japanese) - 24 Japanese (3 persons in each pool) were screened for SNPs (rSNP, iSNP, cSNP, sSNP) in gene regions (exons and promoters). From "Millennium Genome Project Final Evaluation Report" ( http://www.kantei.go.jp/jp/mille/genomu/report/17report.pdf , Japanese) - Approximately 40 % of all gene regions, and especially all exon regions were screened by sequencing of approximately 140 million-base regions. As of March 2005, the data of 195,134 SNPs in total are made available to the public on the JSNP database. |
| Description of Project | From "Millennium Genome Project Final Evaluation Report" ( http://www.kantei.go.jp/jp/mille/genomu/report/17report.pdf , Japanese) - Gene regions were searched and analyzed for finding 15 thousands of standard SNPs and a standard SNP database was developed. |
