Recent Developments in QCD and Quantum Field Theories

November 9 (Thu) - 12 (Sun), 2017

This workshop covers a broad range of recent developments in QCD and quantum field theories involving perturbative QCD (with applications in the nucleon structure and heavy ion collisions), AdS/CFT correspondence and non-perturbative physics, lattice QCD, nucleon and nuclear structures and reactions, quantum field theory at finite temperature/density, the theory of cold atoms, and anomalous effects such as chiral magnetic/vortical effects rooted in quantum anomalies and topology. The primary goal of the workshop is to gather researchers in the relevant fields to exchange ideas and establish future collaborations. RIKEN - Taiwan Workshop

November 6 (Mon) - 17 (Fri), 2017

We are pleased to announce an international workshop on Astrophysical Big Bangs, which will cover supernovae, supernova remnants, gamma-ray bursts, black holes, neutron stars, and high-energy astrophysics in general. We are inviting numerous VIPs (very important collaborators and best friends) from around the world to give talks, and both current and past ABBL members are welcome to present their work. The workshop will be held from November 6th to 10th, but we will also have one more week for free discussion (November 13th-17th). During this second week, we plan to have casual discussion sessions in the morning and completely free afternoons; we would like to talk with our VIPs and ABBL alumni about ongoing and/or future collaborations.

iTHEMS Mini-workshop/ Theoretical Biology Mini-workshop

October 19 (Thu) at 14:00 - 17:00, 2017

“Kazusa DNA Research Institute: Who is this?” Dr. Satoshi Tabata (Kazusa DNA Res Inst, Director) “Did the journey to strawberry start from Japan?” Dr. Sachiko Isobe (Kazusa DNA Res Inst, Lab Head) Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is cultivated and consumed across the world. It is an allo-polyploidy species (2n = 8X = 56) with an estimated genome size of 1C = 708–720 Mb. Strawberry was artificially generated in the 16th century Europe, by crossing between two octoploid species, F. chiloensis and F. virginiana. The evolutionary origin and genome structure have been discussed and not fully determined. The first proposed structure was AABBBBCC model (Federova, 1946), then, Senanayake and Bringhurst (1967) proposed AAA’A’BBBB model. The fully allopolyploidy structure (AAA’A’BBB’B’) was suggested by Bringhurst in 1990 based on isozyme segregation. This model was also supported by the segregation patterns of CAPS markers (Kunihisa et al. 2011) and SSR markers (Isobe et al. 2013). However, just recently, Tennessen et al. (2014) proposed the AvAvBiBiB1B1B2B2, model, according to the results of targeted DNA capture and sequencing by using next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. In this model, Av represents the most F. vesca like genome, while Bi represents the most F, iinmae like genome. The origin of F. vesca is considered as North America, and F. iinumae is an endemic species in Japan. Our resent results of denovo whole genome sequencing support the AvAvBiBiB1B1B2B2 model, that suggest considerable part of the strawberry genome showed the highest similarity with F. iinumae.
