Genome Resource and Analysis

Hiroshi TARUI,Ph. D.  

The Genome Resource and Analysis Subunit aims to support a wide range of gene analysis research, ranging from DNA sequencing and gene expression analysis to storage and distribution of gene resources. Our facility can perform gene expression analysis and high-throughput gene screening by using a DNA sequencing system capable of analyzing more than 100,000 genes per year. We are also equipped to custom make DNA microarray systems. Gene resources derived from a variety of species can also be stored and distributed to researchers on request. We constantly strive to build upon existing technologies to provide solid research support and explore new ideas and possibilities, which we hope will maximize the flexibility and efficiency of our responses to researcher requests.
