Outline of R&D
The main aim of the project is to construct a database to accommodate integrated information obtained from large-scale genomic epidemiology studies. As a model dataset for the project, the whole set of information obtained from 10,082 healthy individuals in the baseline survey of "The Nagahama Prospective Genome cohort for the Comprehensive Human Bioscience" was used. It includes questionnaire-based individual life-style and environmental exposures, biochemical and hematological traits, physiological measurements as well as genome scan results of approximately 4,000 participants. This database with information unique to the Japanese population will be made public at the end of the project. In addition, the project implements training of young researchers in the fields of genome informatics and statistical genetics.
