Current Project

• Domestic and international collaborative research to utilize agrobiological genome Big data

Project outline

The goal of domestic and international collaborative research

• Creating new knowledge through in-person and knowledge-based exchanges among research institutes and researchers worldwide

The need for international cooperaton in genome research

• Genome research is inevitable for future innovations such as health care, food, environment, agricultural and livestock.
• Major developed countries are making various efforts to preoccupy.
• Global level systematic maintenance of essential technologies and equipment is required to produce, store, analyze and utilize genome data
• In order to prepare for the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol and efficient genome research, it is necessary to establish a network for the use of analytical technology and excellent manpower from advanced research institutes and international cooperation research.

Objectives of research and development

• Support for genome analysis and application capabilities of NAGP (National Agricultural Genome Program)
  • Establishment and activation of domestic and international cooperation networks related to research on agricultural genome, including epigenetics.
• Support for globalization and building capacity in the field of domestic agricultural genome research
  • Identify the trends of advanced genome research and utilize the workforce of leading researchers and research institutes

Contents of research and development

• Support for international cooperative network for understanding big data and strengthening information analysis capabilities of agricultural genome
  • Support for the establishment of cooperative networks with specialized research institutes for each item to be sequenced (domestic and foreign universities, research institutes, etc.)
  • Support for collaborative research for genome sequencing, information analysis and utilization technology development by item for sequencing
  • Promote the use of international experts (working-level researchers) exchange or attraction to strengthen genome analysis capabilities.
• Support for domestic and foreign consortiums and networks related to decoding and utilization of genome big data by item
  • Support for international consortiums related to agricultural (epigenomic) genomes
  • Support for cooperation and symposiums among participating ministries at NAGP
