  • Publication number: 20230194472
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for analyzing a microRNA using a tunneling current. The present disclosure provides a method for identifying the base sequence and/or modification state of a microRNA using a tunneling current, and a system and a program to be used in the method. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a method for analyzing the conditions of a subject, said method comprising determining the base sequence and/or modification state of a microRNA using a tunneling current. For example, methylation modification can be analyzed thereby.

  • Publication number: 20230175066
    Abstract: The present application provides a novel method for analyzing a biological condition or a medical condition. It is now found that information about the modification of RNA can be used for the analysis of a biological condition or a medical condition. On the basis of this finding, the present invention provides a novel method for analyzing a biological condition or a medical condition. According to the present invention, it becomes possible to analyze various biological conditions or medical conditions including diseases, and it also becomes possible to satisfactorily predict cancer (e.g., pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer) in an early stage.

  • Publication number: 20220101147
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to predicting trait information from the genetic information of individuals, and generating a model therefor. Learning is performed using a plurality of types of genetic information from a plurality of individuals, and a model for predicting trait information is generated. For said learning, it is possible to create images of the genetic information, and provide the same to said learning. The images in the present disclosure can store both sequence information and expression information. Moreover, the layout of genetic factors in the images can be optimized. Said learning can be performed as split learning, and the data after said split learning can be consolidated.
