For the first time, map the Japanese genome

The Genome Medical Research Center of the Japan Institute of Physicochemical Research for the first time successfully outlines the country's genome map by taking advantage of the new generation of DNA sequencing technology.

Scientists carried out DNA extraction in the blood of a Japanese man using the device of the US illumina company, then successfully outlined the genome map for about five months.

It took the scientific community more than 10 years to map out the first individual genome map.

Tatsuhiko, who works on the research team, said: " It is not possible to consider the basic characteristics of a Japanese by only sketching a person's genetic map. If it is possible to sketch a map. The genome of dozens of people, we will be able to detect more specific features of Japanese people. "
