Outline of Final Research Achievements

Genomes and genes are a blue print of many organisms. However, the structural organization and variation of those are often complex in natural population, and therefore, it is difficult to uncover its principle and common mechanisms by using model organisms, although many of those simple genome sequences are identified recently. In this research group, a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas, “Correlative Gene System: Establishing Next-Generation Genetics”, have focused on the conflict of genes and genomes within natural population, sexual pair and interactions of organisms such as parasite and host. To facilitate collaboration and discussion about principle mechanism underling the genetic conflict, we held annual meeting and international symposium. We also released our achievements to public through our homepage and outreach activities.
