Strategies for Post Genome Sequence Research in Kyowa Hakko

摘要

To proceed genomic research, we started cDNA project focusing on novel human cDNA in 1994. In addition, we joined the genomic research projects supported by the Japanese government. More recently, we participated in 'Millennium projects' focusing on human full-length cDNA as well as a project for the development of a microbial genome information analysis system. Furthermore, we have determined the whole genome sequence of Corynebacteriuim glutamucum, an amino acid producing strain. Based on the results of the genome analysis, the applied research is ongoing to improve the amino and nucleic acid productivity.
