| Project name | Life science database project |
|---|---|
| Area | Genome Informatics |
| Purpose | This project aims to facilitate the research and development in both industry and academia. |
| Introduction | This project was established as the successor of the Life science database integration project in 2008-2010. The project constructs and deploys 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. Collaboration with NBDC (http://biosciencedbc.jp/?lng=en) commissioned by JST is also a main aim of this project, and the databases and tools developed by this project are to be transferred to NBDC. |
