Comparative Genomics and Genetics Research Group Front Page Professor Gojobori's research interests range from comparative genomics and gene expression of neural cells in sensory organs of various organisms to the marine metagenomics of a diversity of microorganisms. He aims to elucidate the evolutionary origin of the neural network and its application to synthetic biology for developments of bioenergy. Professor Gojobori's research focuses extensively on marine metagenomics in the Red Sea, the evolution of viral genomes, the rates of synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions, positive selection, horizontal gene transfer, genomic evolution, and
