| Message |
Students will perform research related to the following two projects.
1) Evolution of developmental genes after genome duplication (Making a hypothesis by in silico genome analysis, testing it by in vivo transgenic experiments, etc.)
2) Analysis of the roles for epigenetic regulation in Xenopus organ regeneration. |
