Recent Research Topics in the Laboratory of Bioindustrial Informatics

摘要

Laboratory of Bioindustrial Informatics is established in 2004, and now intends to reveal to the molecular mechanisms that control early development of teleost fish and also to develop computer programs for DNA sequence analyses. We currently have three main research projects. In the first project, we reveal the developmental mechanism that controls external left-right asymmetry of flounder. In second, we recently started a research project aiming at establishment of technique to prepare induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from fish cells.
