Establishment of the Aquatic Genomics Research Center, and accumulation of information on genes Ichiro Nakayama　Director, Aquatic Genomics Research Center, National Research Institute of Fisheries Science, Fisheries Research Agency

Because there is a wide range of species of marine life, information on DNA and genes, which are said to be the common languages of living things, is important.
