1. This document outlines BioHackathon 2015 which was held in Nagasaki, Japan.
2. It provides a brief history of Nagasaki and Nagasaki University, including its origins as a trading port and the establishment of its medical school.
3. It discusses challenges in gene hunting for rare and undiagnosed diseases even with new sequencing technologies, and proposes that semantic web technologies can help address these challenges by facilitating knowledge sharing across databases.
8. 1967- Atomic Bomb Disease Institute, Nagasaki University
? Radiation risk control unit
? Cellular function analysis unit
? Genomic function analysis unit
? Dept. of Human Genetics
? Atomic bomb disease and Hibakusha medicine unit
? Center for promotion of collaborative research
15. Is NGS +
huge sample sets +
huge databases
a silver bullet
for gene hunting?
16. Answer: NO
for rare and undiagnosed diseases
1.Heterogeneity C same
phenotype, different causal
genes
2.Only one patient in the world
3.Can be a non typical case of
known rare disease
17. Knowledge network C
like a brain of a
remarkable researcher
who knows everything
in a field

Editor's Notes
#3: Welcome to Japan, welcome to Nagasaki
It gives me great pleasure to talk to you as a local organizer of Biohackathon 2015.
#4: Id like to talk about two topics, brief history of Nagasaki and What I expect BH15 and myself
#5: From middle of 17c to middle of 19c, under the Sakoku or locked-country policy, an artificial island in Nagasaki called Dejima was the sole place of direct trading between japan and outside world. Thus, Nagasaki was entrance of western items as well as knowledge, science and medicine.
#6: In 1857, Japans first western medical school was established in Nagasaki, the medical school. First and second principal were Dr Pompe and Dr Bauduin from the Natherlands. One of student was Ryojun Matsumoto who became Surgeon General later. This hall ls Bauduin hall. This building is Ryojun auditorium. And a builiding over there is Pompe Hall
#7: The medical school was changed its name to Nagasaki medical school.
#8: At the end of World War II, on 1945bAugust 9th 11:02am, Nagasaki had a atomic bombing. Here is Nagasaki medical college. The hypocenter is about 600M far from here. The college was totally destroyed.
#9: Just after bombing, survived doctors in the college played important roles in reconstruction of Nagasaki. In 1967, Atomic bomb disease institute was established for clinical and basic research for atomic bomb survivors or Hibakusha. The Institute has 5 units.
