Multicellular organisms develop from a single cell,a fertilized egg through many rounds of cell
division, cell differentiation regulated by complex
but precise interactions of tissues, and threedimensional morphogenesis, and produce progeny
by reproduction. In this course, lectures regarding
to the formation of body axes, mechanism of celldifferentiation, cell movements during
development, metabolic regulation, which are all
essential processes for the morphogenesis ofmulticellular organisms. In addition, a number offundamental questions during the course ofreproduction will be lectured using a variety oforganisms such as animals, plants, and unicellular
eukaryotes. Further, mechanisms of regenerationin multicellular organisms are also discussed while
comparing with developmental events.

1(Mitsuyasu Hasebe) The basic principle ofdiversity formaiton and evoution in Bryophytes,Lycophytes, Pteridophytes, and Spermatophytes
will be discussed. (Miyo Terao Morita) An
overview of the transport and signaling of thephytohormone auxin, which plays an importantrole in the gravity response of plants. (YasuhiroKamei) An overview of the molecular mechanismsof cells against temperature, and introduction ofan application method using the mechanism tobiological research.

The course will introduce seven topics on modern
evolutionary biology covering the fundamentals of
the methods for comparative genomics analyses.
The first topic includes variant detection,orthology analysis, whole genome comparison anddetection of selection signature. Continuously, itwill introduce the evolutionary mechanism thatbrings about the diversity of organisms. Turnoversof sex determination genes have frequently
happened during the evolution of vertebrates.
Genetic and genomic basis of this phenomenon
will be discussed using fish as models. The
evolutionary novelties acquired by insects throughevolution will be discussed. Flagella in eukaryotes
are the molecular machinery composed of tubulins
and other proteins. Roles of tubulin superfamily
genes will be discussed in relation withmicrotubule and flagella structures. Arbuscular
mycorrhiza and root nodule symbioses aremutually successful and beneficial interactions onearth. The evolution of plant-microbe symbioses
by recruiting or neo-functionalizing common
factors will be discussed.

1This course will introduce various methodologies
in modern bioimaging that visualize biologicalstructures and phenomena in molecular, cellular,
tissue and organism levels, and also image
processing/analysis techniques to extract useful
information from the obtained digital image data.

This two-day intensive course will cover thefundamentals of bioinformatics, with a primary
focus on sequence analysis. Topics will range
from the basic algorithms used in sequence
analysis to the application of bioinformatics ingenomic and transcriptomic analyses. The course
will consist of both lectures and hands-onactivities.
