Leading the Frontier in Genomic Research for a Sustainable World

The Animal Genomics and Bioresource Research Center (AGB) was established to promote expertise in chromosome analysis, comparative genomics, and genetic diversity in animals. Our aim is to clarify genome and chromosome structures to better comprehend genetic diversity and evolutionary processes using both cytogenetic, molecular biology, and genomic techniques. Karyotype and genomic evolution identify the processes of evolutionary changes in vertebrates, and chromosome homologies between different species are deduced by comparative chromosome mapping using cDNA or BACs.
