What's new
Apr 12 2011 Blast and ClustalW services were restarted.
Mar 14 2011 Due to the effects of disaster to nuclear power plants, eastern Japan is now under a rolling blackout. This website will be affected accordingly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
All services will be unavailable irregularly.
ARSA, Blast, ClustalW and Gib services are unavailable for the time being.
