Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Centromere, Molecular biology, DNA, Centromere protein B and Chromatin. His Centromere study incorporates themes from Chromosome 21, Histone, Human artificial chromosome and Cell biology. His Human artificial chromosome study improves the overall literature in Genetics.

His Cell biology research integrates issues from Metaphase, Cell cycle, Prophase and Kinetochore. His Molecular biology research incorporates elements of Mitosis and Yellow fluorescent protein. His DNA study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Satellite DNA and Chromosome.

His most cited work include:

  • A human centromere antigen (CENP-B) interacts with a short specific sequence in alphoid DNA, a human centromeric satellite. (531 citations)
  • Construction of YAC-based mammalian artificial chromosomes. (378 citations)
  • CENP-B box is required for de novo centromere chromatin assembly on human alphoid DNA. (247 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Centromere, Human artificial chromosome, Genetics, Cell biology and Chromatin. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including DNA, Molecular biology and Kinetochore. He combines subjects such as Chromosome instability, Computational biology, Epigenetics and Gene delivery with his study of Human artificial chromosome.

As a member of one scientific family, Hiroshi Masumoto mostly works in the field of Cell biology, focusing on Metaphase and, on occasion, Anaphase. His work on Heterochromatin, Histone H3 and Centromere Protein A as part of general Chromatin study is frequently linked to Chromatin immunoprecipitation, bridging the gap between disciplines. In his study, HMG-box is inextricably linked to Satellite DNA, which falls within the broad field of Centromere protein B.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Centromere (55.04%)
  • Human artificial chromosome (34.88%)
  • Genetics (31.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Human artificial chromosome (34.88%)
  • Centromere (55.04%)
  • Cell biology (31.78%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Hiroshi Masumoto mainly focuses on Human artificial chromosome, Centromere, Cell biology, Chromatin and Kinetochore. Hiroshi Masumoto has included themes like Chromosome instability, Epigenetics and Computational biology in his Human artificial chromosome study. Genetics covers Hiroshi Masumoto research in Centromere.

His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Arabidopsis thaliana, Meristem, Chromosome segregation and Ectopic expression. His work carried out in the field of Chromatin brings together such families of science as TetR, Histone and Molecular biology. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular evolution, Repeated sequence and Contig as well as Centromere protein B.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The epigenetic regulator Uhrf1 facilitates the proliferation and maturation of colonic regulatory T cells (117 citations)
  • 3D-CLEM Reveals that a Major Portion of Mitotic Chromosomes Is Not Chromatin. (58 citations)
  • KAT7/HBO1/MYST2 Regulates CENP-A Chromatin Assembly by Antagonizing Suv39h1-Mediated Centromere Inactivation (56 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Internal medicine

Hiroshi Masumoto spends much of his time researching Centromere, Genetics, Chromatin, Kinetochore and Cell biology. His Centromere research focuses on Centromere Protein A in particular. Molecular biology is closely connected to Histone H2A in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Centromere Protein A.

His work on Histone expands to the thematically related Chromatin. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Satellite chromosome, Polytene chromosome, Premature chromosome condensation and Metaphase. His Human artificial chromosome research includes elements of Biomedicine, Biotechnology and Gene expression.
