Japanese Speaking Working Group

At present, the Japanese working group of the ISFG has more than 40 registered members who concurrently belong to the Japanese Society for DNA Polymorphism Research (JSDPR)—the society that serves as the interface with the ISFG in Japan. The JSDPR was first established in 1991 with the solemn objective of “contributing to the progress and advancement of human, plant and animal DNA polymorphism research.” Over the years the Society has rapidly evolved, broadening its scope and capacity to a wider array of academic interests, and at present boasts a membership of 551 researchers stemming from a veritable cornucopia of academic disciplines. The subject matter covered is equally diverse, ranging from applications to forensic science and odontology, to the analysis of plant, mammalian and marine wildlife. The JSDPR holds its annual congress in November and publishes its own periodical the DNA Takei (DNA polymorphism).
