4．Time:

(oral) 10:50-12:30 on Monday

 

5．Place:

(oral) 3F seminar room of the library in National Institute of genetics

 

6．Prerequisites and Styles：

There is no prerequisite for taking the lectures.

 

7．Contents:

The genome biology is one of the rapidly growing study fields that aims to discover the meaning of structural features of genetic factors in individuals, populations and species of the organisms and relationships between structure of whole genetic factors and functional properties of the organism. The movements of genome biology studies have taken new turns in genetics and OME studies depending on the development of multiple novel methodologies/tools of functional genomics including informatics and genetic resources as well as a huge amount of molecular information. Lecturers will explain dynamic movements on genomic studies in microorganisms and plants.

 

8．Course objectives:

1. The bases and reasons of a rapid development of genome biology are important to be understood.
2. In genome biology, it is important to understand organisms as whole genetic entities and relations between parts and whole of them as well.
3. These are some specific understandings in microorganisms and plants, though genome biology employs a lot of common methods among organisms.
4. It should be important to have a insight that this field contains high potentiality to bring several large conceptual conversion in biological studies.

 

9．Schedule: (Oral)

	Date [lecturers if omnibus]	Topic

2.	June 17	Yeast genome biology(Niki/Aoki)
3.	July 22	Plant reproduction system and small RNA pathway (Nonomura)
4.	July 29	its turn to functional genomics and evolutional genetics (Kurata)

 

10．Lecture materials and readings:

All the materials will be supplied as electric files or print-outs before or in the lecture.

 

11．Grades:

The grades will be A, B, C, and D, which are determined by the quality of the paper, which must be submitted to the lecturer by the provided deadline. The subject(s) of the paper must be one of the four important aspects that are presented in the above Course Objectives. Attendance will be considered in some extent.
