Outline and Purpose of the Course	By analyzing the genome of versatile biological species, it is possible to obtain various knowledge about the history and evolution of these organisms. Genomic decoding of agricultural, forestry and fishery products enables rapid and efficient breeding. Basic technologies of genomics will be indispensable for future biology. However, since the genome contains huge amount of information, its use is not easy. In this course, we will overview the use of the bioinformatics (bioinformatics) technology to obtain useful information from the genome sequence, to understand the biodiversity and evolution, and to use the technology for improvement of agriculture, forestry and fishery products.
Course Goals	Understanding in the genomic decoding technology by next generation sequencers. Understanding in the basics of bioinformatics. Understanding in the genomic sequence analysis using UNIX, PYTHON, R etc. Ability in learning of handling large-scale data Knowledge on genome evolution.
