Information Center

   Although Japan has a long history in conserving genetic resources(hereafter cited as bioresources) and possesses an abundance of originally developed resources, for a long time, these resources were scattered and were not used efficiently. As the national core information facility for these bioresources, our objective is to provide the whereabouts of the bioresource, scientific knowledge of the bioresource, and genomic information that will promote efficient application of the bioresource, and support life sciences research extensively.
In addition to developing the project, we strive to:
1) Comprehensively accumulate information
2) Equip every resource with a database, and
3) Provide information efficiently to users.
    Although these bioresources are full of hidden potential, its true worth can only be recognized with the existence of users. It is my opinion that releasing information to the public plays a great part in evaluating resources through a broad vision and long-term observation. Moreover, publicizing information provides enlightenment on structuring an appropriate system.
