Large-scale data analysis of viral dark matter using SHIROKANE to identify new antimicrobial agents: Paving the way for new therapies with enzymes derived from viruses
The research group led by Professors Satoshi Uematsu, Seiya Imoto and others has used SHIROKANE to study the effects of intestinal bacteria and a novel antimicrobial agent that enables comprehensive analysis of the genomes of intestinal viruses and control of disease-specific intestinal bacteria The substance was successfully identified.
