- The FANTOM Consortium, which is led by the Institute of Physical and
Chemical Research of Japan, has comprehensively studied the mouse genome
and transcriptome. On September 2, they published two papers in Science
about the integrative analysis of human and mouse transcripts
(Science. 2005 Sep;309:1559-63.;
Science. 2005 Sep;309:1564-66.).
-
- In these papers, they reported the finding of many protein-coding and
non-protein coding transcripts in both mouse and human. They suggested
that these non-protein coding RNAs (ncRNAs) regulate the expression of
normal transcripts encoding proteins and provide important information
associated with the gene expression control mechanism in mammals.
-
- Professor T. Gojobori (Head of Center for Information Biology and DNA Data
Bank of Japan; CIB-DDBJ), Associate professor K. Ikeo and their colleagues
participated in the FANTOM Consortium from CIB-DDBJ. They are co-authors
of the papers mentioned above. In addition, the activities of the
Genome Network Project
are also related to this project.
-
- Approximately 2,000,000 EST (expressed sequence tag), about 110,000
HTC (high throughput cDNA sequence), and 8,800,000 MGA (Mass sequence for
genome annotation) entries, which were referred to these papers have been
already registered and released from DDBJ. All of the data can be
retrieved, displayed and acquired by using the DDBJ retrieval tool,
getentry.
