Recombinant DNA in Japan: current status and future prospects

Technical Report · Sun Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1989

OSTI ID:6075039

The goals of the report are to evaluate the current status of Japanese Recombinant DNA Biotechnology, and to suggest ways to improve the use of the Japanese biotechnology literature. Abstracts and titles of papers presented at Japanese scientific meetings held from November 1987 to November 1988 were evaluated and translated to give the reader an overall idea of the areas in which Japanese researchers are active. In general, Japanese recombinant DNA technology is on a par with that in the U.S. - there is no technology lead on either side. The author recommends that U.S. bio-researchers should read the Japanese language literature, particularly in applied areas, since the abstracts of meetings held in Japan in Japanese are a good source of current, concise information.
