FY2025 Training course for human iPS cells
The training course for human iPS cells will be held. In this course, we will offer a lecture and practical training for human iPS cells including the overview of human iPS cell culture methods with passaging, freezing and resuscitation on feeder cells (vitrification method) as well as feeder-free culture methods in 1 day course. Please refer to our webpage for more information.

Full-Length sequencing by high throughput sequencing (HTS).
We use high-throughput sequencing (HTS) to combine deposited plasmids and determine their full-length sequences. Plasmid sequences obtained by HTS have been verified for differences from sequences registered in the DNA sequence database and for consistency with sequences provided by the depositor. These sequences are available online on the catalog page for each plasmid.
Microbe Division (JCM)
Gut microbes isolated by the spore germination induction method
A new species of bacteria was isolated from the human gut using a unique culture method that induces germination of bacterial spores. The method is expected not only to contribute to isolation of bacteria, but also to a better understanding of the original potential of bacteria.
