全ゲノム配列情報が利用できる生物種の数は急速に増加している．次世代シークエンサーの利用などにより，この数は今後ますます増加することが予想される．本章では，この情報を利用した遺伝子の同定法について紹介する．
Recently, the number of available whole genome sequences is rapidly increasing. In order to identify the genes responsible for photosynthesis, we developed a bioinformatics tool, CCCT (Correlation Coefficient Calculation Tool), which calculates the correlation coefficient between the distributions of a certain phenotype and genes among a group of organisms. By using this method, we identified cyanobacterial DVR gene responsible for chlorophyll synthesis. This method can also be applied to the identification of non-photosynthetic genes.
