  • Patent number: 11710535
    Abstract: Provided is a biological information processing method and a device, a recording medium and a program that are able to predict and control changes in the state of an organism. The expression level of molecules in an organism is measured over a specific time interval; the measured time-series data is divided into a periodic component, an environmental stimulus response component and a baseline component; constant regions of the time-series data are identified from variations in the baseline component or from the amplitude or periodic variations of the periodic component; and causal relation between the identified constant regions is identified. The relation between the external environment and variations in the internal environment is identified and from the identified causal relation between the constant regions, changes in the state of the organism are inferred.

  • Patent number: 9727817
    Abstract: The present technique relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, a recording medium, and a program capable of extracting the structure of time series data. An acquisition unit acquires time series data, a conversion unit converts the obtained time series data into an RAR model, and a prediction unit predicts the future of an event that is currently in progress using the RAR model. The present technique can be applied when predicting the future of a phenomenon that changes with time such as weather, earthquake, natural environment, human health, and economy from time series data.

  • Patent number: 9714433
    Abstract: Establishment of human pluripotent stem cells having properties close to human ES cells with the genome of the patient per se that can circumvent immunological rejection of transplanted cells from cells derived from a postnatal human tissue are described. Human pluripotent stem cells can be induced by introducing three genes of Oct3/4, Sox2 and Klf 4, or three genes of Oct3/4, Sox2 and Klf 4 plus the c-Myc gene or a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor of undifferentiated stem cells present in various human postnatal tissues in which each gene of Tert, Nanog, Oct3/4 and Sox2 has not undergone epigenetic inactivation.
