| Description of Project | Excerpts from Overview of Research for the Future Program (Genome Research)( http://www.jsps.go.jp/j-rftf/outl/l014.htm, Japanese) In this Project, new genomic analysis techniques will be developed, and will be utilized to help using genomic data and genomic polymorphism data for successful identification of disease genes. Moreover, new findings to be gained from the results of studies of model organisms and disease models will be applied to these data to develop new therapeutic approaches against malignant diseases, hypertension, diabetes, asthma and atopic disease and to delay the onset of these diseases, Also, bioinformatics research will be carried out to understand the systems of life from the genomic information. Furthermore, experimental and bioinformatic analyses of the genome of microorganisms and model organisms will be performed to discover pathogenic and useful genes related to human disease and health, and to elucidate gene functions, and finally technological and theoretical models that are necessary for human genome functional analyses will be established through the evolutionary studies of the systems of life. |
