Overview

Hiroyuki Ogata is affiliated with Kyoto University in Japan. Their research extensively covers environmental science with significant focus on ecology and molecular biology. The scientist's work also spans key subfields including plant science, endocrinology, and animal science and zoology.

The primary topics that characterize Ogata's research include bacteriophages and microbial interactions, microbial community ecology and physiology, and plant virus research studies. Additional focal areas involve genomics and phylogenetic studies, environmental DNA in biodiversity studies, protist diversity and phylogeny, and plant and fungal interactions research.

Ogata's publication record shows contributions to several scientific journals, notably with 29 publications in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), 4 in The Proceedings of JSME annual Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (Robomec), and multiple papers in Communications Biology, Molecular Biology and Evolution, and Microbes and Environments.

Recent scholarly papers by Ogata include the following:

  • Tara Oceans: towards global ocean ecosystems biology, 2020, Nature Reviews Microbiology
  • Cryptic and abundant marine viruses at the evolutionary origins of Earth's RNA virome, 2022, Science
  • Deep ocean metagenomes provide insight into the metabolic architecture of bathypelagic microbial communities, 2021, Communications Biology
  • Functional repertoire convergence of distantly related eukaryotic plankton lineages abundant in the sunlit ocean, 2022, Cell Genomics
  • Biogeography of marine giant viruses reveals their interplay with eukaryotes and ecological functions, 2020, Nature Ecology & Evolution

Throughout their career, Ogata has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including Hisashi Endo, Lingjie Meng, Hiroyuki Hikida, Yusuke Okazaki, and Patrick Wincker. These collaborations reflect a broad network within marine microbiology and molecular biology research communities.
