*Summary of the Talk*
10 years after the age when researchers all over the world focused on a target human genome, the big advances in sequencing technique allow us to face a new age when one can easily read a gigantic genome from a blood sample using handy sequencer, namely the age of gigantic genome data.  A lecture will be given on how we can handle and analyze such a gigantic data based on experiences gained during International Cancer Genome Consortium and Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization.

The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan The 44th Autumn Meeting site is here.
