Research Projects | |
I have been conducting research on forest molecular ecology for the conservation and genetic diversity of the world’s forest plants and endangered species. Through these efforts, I would like to understand the ecology and diversity of living organisms left in the world and build the next generation that coexists with its richness. <Research Theme> 1) Conservation Genomics: population genomic analysis for conservation of endangered species 2) Molecular Phylogenetics: comprehensive distribution survey and DNA analysis for global biodiversity conservation 3) Population Genomics and Molecular Phylogeography: population genomic analysis for conservation of local genetic diversity 4) Development of Next-generation DNA Analysis Methods: highly accurate DNA identification for protecting the rights of cultivar breeders ![]() | |

New next-generation DNA sequencing method for molecular phylogenetic analysis The MIG-seq method (Suyama & Matsuki 2015), a new genome-wide DNA sequence analysis method, can be used for population genetics, phylogenetics as well as identification of individual organisms, populations, species. In 2022, we improved this method and developed a method to easily acquire the sequence information of multiple molecular phylogenetic markers by next-generation sequencing technology, and published these as complementary combination technologies (Suyama et al. 2002). https://doi.org/10.1038/srep16963 https://doi.org/10.1111/1440-1703.12270 |
