LectureThe Agricultural Bioinformatics Research Unit was established in 2004 with support from MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology) to conduct education and research on bioinformatics for graduate students who are studying agricultural and life sciences.

The unit’s educational program includes lectures, practice, and seminars in foundations, methodologies, and advanced topics of bioinformatics and their agricultural applications. It also supports the research of master and doctoral students and presents practical education linked directly to each research topic.

Graduation ceremonyThe Unit aims to become a base of cooperation for experimental and computational studies as well as industry–university cooperation. The Agricultural Bioinformatics Research Unit was renewed in 2009 in order to enhance our activities by building upon past experience and to promote university–industry cooperation and international cooperation. So far (2004–2022 academic years), a total of 2837 students have completed the lectures and a total of 278 students have completed this program.
