Japan-French Joint Research on Genome

为了满足在人类疾病基因、模式生物基因组结构、基因组信息学方面进行更深入合作的需要，成员名单中增加了两名法国科学家P·布瓦尼特博士和J·蒂埃里-米格博士。根据松原和加里伯特博士在CNRS的协议，特别努力促进合作活动，包括Sakaki，Ohki，Fujiyama(人类基因组结构)，Yoshikawa，Ogarawa，Murakami，Ito(微生物基因组结构)，Takagi(基因组信息学)，Matsubara(CDNA)。松田(研究合作者)访问巴斯德研究所和CNRS蒙彼利埃，就人类免疫球蛋白基因开展合作。还积极促进了青年研究人员的交流。来日本合作的法国科学家包括P.Bouvan net、P.SLonimski、A.Danin、J.Thierry-Mieg.1997年12月，Fujiyama的Matsubara和研究合作者Wakasugi访问了巴黎，并与CNRS生命科学主任Samarut博士和副主任Do.Galibert博士进行了讨论，总结了这三年的成就，并就未来的展望交换了意见。结果，以下共识被忽视了。(1)这一合作计划极大地促进了相互了解，在参与者之间产生了可靠和深入的互动，并因此启动了几项新的合作努力。(2)加强持续的合作研究。(3)寻求交流的支持，以增进相互了解和刺激，特别是鼓励青年研究人员交流，为未来更好地互动。三年活动的简历将发表在发行量较大的国际期刊上。

To meet the need for deeper collaborative efforts on human disease genes, genome structure of model organisms, genome informatics, two French scientists, Drs.P.Bouvagnet and J.Thierry-Mieg were added to the member's list. Both of them came to Japan for collaborative researches.Based upon agreement between Matsubara and Dr.F.Galibert at CNRS,special efforts have been made to promote collaborative activities that include such researchers as Sakaki, Ohki, Fujiyama (human genome structure), Yoshikawa, Ogasawara, Murakami, Ito (microbial genome structure), Takagi (genome informatics), Matsubara (cDNA). Matsuda (Research collaborator) visited Pasteur Institute and CNRS Montpellier to carry out collaboration on human immunoglobulin gene. Exchanges of young researchers were also actively promoted. French scientists who came to Japan for collaboration included P.Bouvagnet, P.Slonimski, A.Danchin, J.Thierry-Mieg.On December 1997, Matsubara, Fujiyama, along with Wakasugi (Research collaborator) visited Paris and dislcussed with Drs.Samarut (CNRS Life Science Director) and Galibert (do., Vice director), summarizing achievements in these three years and exchanged ideas on future perpectives. As a result, the following consensus was obtrained. (1) This collaboration program has greatly helped mutual understanding, generating reliable and deep interactions among the participants, and as a result several new collaborative efforts have been initiated. (2) Ongoing collaborative researchers should be enforced. (3) Supports for exchanges should be sought for futhersing mutual understanding and stimulations ; especially encouraging exchange of young researchers for better interactions for the future.The resume of the three years' activities will be published in an well-circulated international journal.
