Poster 5th OBC

 3 月11-16 日に、第5 回生物学国際高等コンファレンス(OBC5) が開催されました。今回のタイトルは「種分化と適応: モデル生物の生態ゲノミクスから展望へ」と訳されています。「種分化」や「適応」を分子的アプローチで理解しようという研究分野の会議です。この分野はゲノム配列や遺伝子機能の情報が蓄積したことを背景にして生まれ、最近のトレンドとなりつつあります。その発展にはフィールドワークを中心とした生態学や進化学と、実験室の分子遺伝学との結びつきが欠かせません。そのため分子生物学者から理論系の進化生態学者まで、異なったバックグラウンドの研究者が集まった議論の場となりました。適応と種分化だけでなく、遺伝子重複、エピジェネティクス、栽培化と人為的選択、Canalization、Robustness など、進化にまつわる幅広い話題が7 つのセッションに分けて提供されました。各セッションには総合討論が20 分ずつと長めに設定され、活発な議論で盛り上がりました。タイトルにはモデル生物とありますが、さまざまな野生植物、カメムシ、ネアンデルタール人などの研究も含まれており、この分野で初心者の私には、理論や手法と合わせて目新しい話題の連続でした。また、オーガナイザーの清水健太郎博士ら、海外で活躍する日本人の若手研究者が多く含まれたことは、同年代の私には非常に刺激になりました。
 このタイトルのOBC の2 回目開催が検討中とのことですが、もし数年後に開催されるならば、その頃には、さらにホットな研究分野として注目されていることは間違いないでしょう。(星野 敦)
