Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary science which develops algorithms and software tools for analyzing and understanding large amounts of biological information. It is a highly interdisciplinary field combining diverse types of specialists, including biologist, molecular life scientists, computer scientists, statisticians, and mathematicians.
Over the last decade, the exited development of genome editing technology has revolutionized research on the human genome, which has enabled investigators to better understand the role of a single-gene product to a disease in an organism. In the 1970s, the development of genetic engineering (manipulation of DNA or RNA) established a novel frontier in genome editing. Based on engineered or bacterial nucleases, genome editing machinery have been developed at a rapid pace over the past 10 years and have begun to show extraordinary utility in various fields, ranging from basic research to applied biotechnology and biomedical research.
I would like to share with all of you my experience when I joined a student exchange program at Bioengineering, Osaka University, Japan. I was there for a month and attended some lectures which were very exciting to share with all of you.
The first topic was presented by Prof. Dr. Toshiya Muranaka
The college experience is of great value in providing emerging adults with a structured environment in which they can gain the knowledge, sk...
