Contribution of computational biology and structural genomics to understand genome and transcriptome

Genome sequencing and structural genomics projects are both proceeded to gain a new perspective of life, that is global views on mechanisms of life with comprehensive and unbiased fashion. We now have genome sequences of human and other species, and are going to have a three-dimensional structure of whole proteins. Those massive pieces of information can only be deciphered with collaboration of computational biology. In this paper, we will discuss the amount of data we have at the moment and one of the new views on mechanisms of cellular function regulation obtained based on the computational analyses of those data.
