The University Museum of the University of Tokyo is diplaying two specimens that OIST members contributed as part of the exhibition “Chi no Kairou” or “Hall of Inspiration” . One is the pearl oyster, the genome which was decoded by Dr. Takeshi Takeuchi of the Marine Genomics Unit and his collaborators in 2012. The other is the Lingula, a brachiopod which is known as “living fossil,” provided by Yi-Jyun Luo, a Ph.D. student in the same unit who led the project to decode its genome in 2015.
