Research Abstract |
The goal of this research is understanding functions of DNA. Towards this end, we developed software for processing fruitfly mutant wing photographs to accelerate functional analysis of genes involved in cell growth. We also approached the problem using next-generation sequencers to reveal that the chromatin structure of DNA affects evolution considerably, which is the first study to uncover the property.
