| Aliases | G-compass : Comparative genome browser |
| Description | G-compass was designed as a tool for the study of comparative genomics. It provides the data of evolutionarily conserved genomic regions and orthologous genes between human and 12 vertebrates (chimpanzee, rhesus monkey, mouse, rat, dog, cow, horse, opossum, chicken, zebrafish, medaka and Tetraodon). Information of ultraconserved elements (UCE) and copy number variable regions (CNV) are provided. Sliding window analysis and dot plot analysis are also implemented. |

| Introduction | GIIP project was a model project of METI, which executed for 3 years since 2005 to 2007. The representative institute of the commission was Japan Biological Informatics Consortium (JBIC) and also the other six research institutes took their parts. The aim of the project is to construct an annotated human gene database of the world highest quality, based on H-Invitational Database (H-InvDB). |

| Project name | Life science database integration project |
|---|---|
| Area | Genome Informatics |
| Purpose | This project aims to facilitate the research and development in both industry and academia. |
| Introduction | The project develops a portal site that provides various information on databases and analysis tools for life science which were developed by the projects directly sponsored by METI, or developed by the Institutes sponsored by METI. The second aim is to develop an integrated system to utilize the various outcomes related to METI, based on H-Invitationl DB (all human gene database) that was developed in "Genome Information Integration Project (GIIP)". |
