Outline of Final Research Achievements

To understand the light-sensing network of living organisms, I developed new omics method named "Photome". This method utilizes the advantage of wide range of quantification of the next generation sequencer and the irradiation of multichromatic light with high resolution wavelength. I succeeded to establish highly efficient sample preparation method of photome and also automated pipeline for computing. This method can be applied to all living organism and will promote the progress of the wide research filed such as analysis of intrinsic light-sensing pathway or regulation of cellular response by light irradiation.
