The cell nucleus of a fertilized egg contains all the genetic information required to become that organism. Information about the DNA sequences and proteins that shape life has been accumulated. Based on this information, an approach to reconstruct functional cell nuclei has been taken, making it possible to investigate previously unexplained physical quantities such as time elements, spatial elements, quantity, and length. This workshop will introduce research attempting to reconstruct nuclear functions in fertilized eggs and early embryos.
