Biology Group
- Owing to recent development of "genomic" sciences, DNA sequences of genomes from many biological species are now available. All information for living systems is written on the DNA sequences. To read-out this genetic information is the challenging project for both biological sciences and information sciences.
- As one of the aims of our research center, we are trying to develop a combined and new concept/research field of bio-information and quantum information researches to finally produce a "quantum-bio-informatics" research field.
- In silico biology group, we study 1) algorithms for protein three dimensional structure prediction from sequences, protein function prediction from structures, and system simulation from such functions; 2)analysis and extraction of meanings contained in the sequences (DNA, genes, and proteins); 3) signal transduction systems in cells. Especially we are expecting our collaboration effect with theoretical in finding "quantum" algorithms for simulation of proteins (for protein three dimensional structure prediction) and for information extraction from various sequences.
