Keisuke Harashima, CEO of Mitate Zepto Technica, has contributed to the book “Whole Genome and Exome Genetic Statistical Analysis” (Yodosha), edited by Professor Gen Tamiya from Tohoku University’s Graduate School of Medicine. This book, published on September 1, 2023, provides practical knowledge on next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis techniques.

Harashima authored the section “Speeding up Next-Generation Sequencing with Semiconductor Technology” in Chapter 5, “Foundational Technologies Supporting the Era of Whole Genome Analysis.” This section introduces cutting-edge technologies aimed at speeding up genome analysis and explains the role of semiconductor technology in the process. It also discusses the development of efficient analysis methods that do not rely on traditional supercomputers.

Through this contribution, we aim to further promote the dissemination of next-generation sequencing acceleration and power-saving technologies that Mitate Zepto Technica is advancing, while also contributing to technological innovation in the field of genome analysis.
