Outline of Final Research Achievements

The goal of the Transcription Cycle Area is to gain an integrative perspective on multiple steps and layers of transcription using “high-resolution approaches,” in which leading edge technology and computational science are combined with conventional methodology. To facilitate research activity of the area toward this goal, the following support programs were conducted as planned: (1) Establishment and management of the Transcription Cycle Core Facility. (2) Promotion of cooperation within the Area and with outside groups. (3) Support of young researchers. (4) Public relations.
