Progress on Post-Genome Technologies and Modern Natural Prod

Innovative tools and methods haveplayed important roles in new frontiers．One important frontier inlife science is the single-cell related field． Although DNAsequencers or other tools have provided SO manv valuable biologicaldata tO date，they were averages over ensemble of cells．Now manypeopte are interested in analyzing individual cells and signalssuch as exomes to understand a whole life system．We need new toolsto analyze mRNA，proteins，and metabolites in single—cells as well asin exomes quantitatively．TheY might give great impact on thepharmaceutical，medical and biological fields．The collaborationsamong researchers in various fields and various countries mightpromote the development of the tools．The purpose of this meeting isto promote the interdisciplinary and international collaborationsin this exciting frontier．
