Poster 8th OBC

 第8回OBCは2007年に開催された第5回OBC「Speciation and Adaptation – Ecological Genetics of Model Organisms and Beyond – 種分化と適応:モデル生物の生態ゲノミクスとその発展」を発展させ、「Speciation and Adaptation – Environment and Epigenetics - 種分化と適応:環境とエピジェネティクス」というテーマで開催された。基生研の主要研究テーマでもある環境に対する生物応答が進化にどのように関連するか、その際に、DNAメチル化、クロマチン修飾、レトロトランスポゾン転移などのエピジェネティックな要因がどう関わりうるのかという問題について、最先端の研究成果と挑戦的な仮説の提唱のもと、OBCが目的とする新分野の開拓を国内外の参加者が活発な討論のもと繰り広げた。本来は、2011年3月開催予定であったが、東日本大震災のため、延期を余儀なくされ、1年後の2012年3月に開催された。しかし、1年の開催延期は参加者に、より充実したデータを生み出す時間を提供することとなり、災いを転じてより大きな成果をあげることができた。 討議内容は、「適応と自然変異におけるメジャーとマイナーQTLの役割」、「自然集団における解析の必要性」、「ショウジョウバエを中心とした種分化を担う遺伝子やその自然集団での多型に関する研究」、「世代を超えた多型維持機構と適応的意義」、「大進化とエピジェネティック変異との関連」などについて5日間にわたり7セッションが開催された。進化学、発生学、生態学が融合して、所謂、EcoEvoDevoとして発露しつつある分野であり、これまで異なったフィールドで研究してきた最先端研究者が一同に集まることで、従来の自分の研究領域を超え、他の研究領域の存在を認識する機会になり、寝食を共にすることで、極めて活発な討論が行われ、今後の新しい生物学分野を切り開くというOBCの目的にかなった会議であった。(長谷部 光泰)
