             I present several recent results from JPG (Japan Participation Group) in SDSS. The topics include
a) Morphology, color and luminosity dependence of two- and three--point correlation functions of galaxies
b) Topological analysis of the large-scale structure of galaxies based on the Minkowski functionals
c) Discovery of the largest separation gravitationally lensed quasar
d) Baryonic signature from large-scale clustering of quasars
