Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Kan Tanaka is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Kan Tanaka combines Gene and Bacteria in his studies. Kan Tanaka integrates Bacteria with Gene in his study. His study deals with a combination of Genetics and Botany. Kan Tanaka integrates many fields, such as Botany and Genetics, in his works. Mutant is closely attributed to Synechocystis in his work. While working in this field, he studies both Gene expression and Specificity factor. His Specificity factor study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as RNA. Kan Tanaka undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of RNA and Polymerase through his works. Kan Tanaka performs integrative study on Polymerase and RNA polymerase in his works.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome sequence of the ultrasmall unicellular red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae 10D (968 citations)
  • Heterogeneity of the principal sigma factor in Escherichia coli: the rpoS gene product, sigma 38, is a second principal sigma factor of RNA polymerase in stationary-phase Escherichia coli. (323 citations)
  • A 100%-complete sequence reveals unusually simple genomic features in the hot-spring red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae (241 citations)

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

Kan Tanaka performs integrative study on Gene and Synechocystis in his works. He combines Synechocystis and Gene in his studies. He combines Genetics and Cell biology in his studies. Kan Tanaka applies his multidisciplinary studies on Cell biology and Molecular biology in his research. His work often combines Molecular biology and RNA studies. He performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of RNA and RNA polymerase via his papers. Many of his studies on RNA polymerase involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Escherichia coli. Much of his study explores Escherichia coli relationship to Sigma factor. Kan Tanaka conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Biochemistry and Enzyme through his works.

In recent works Kan Tanaka was focusing on the following fields of study:

In the field of Plastid and Thylakoid Kan Tanaka studies Chloroplast. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Gene and Biogenesis in his research. Biogenesis and Organelle are two areas of study in which Kan Tanaka engages in interdisciplinary work. He combines Organelle and Plastid in his research. Biochemistry is closely attributed to Starch in his research. He combines topics linked to Signal transduction with his work on Cell biology. His research brings together the fields of Cell biology and Signal transduction. Genetics and Computational biology are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary research. In his works, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Computational biology and Genetics.

Between 2018 and 2022, his most popular works were:

  • The retrograde signaling protein GUN1 regulates tetrapyrrole biosynthesis (36 citations)
  • Target of rapamycin-signaling modulates starch accumulation via glycogenin phosphorylation status in the unicellular red algaCyanidioschyzon merolae (24 citations)
  • Identification of a chloroplast fatty acid exporter protein, CmFAX1, and triacylglycerol accumulation by its overexpression in the unicellular red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae (19 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Eukaryote

His Intracellular research extends to the thematically linked field of Cell biology. Kan Tanaka connects Intracellular with Enzyme in his research. Enzyme connects with themes related to Tetrapyrrole in his study. In his works, Kan Tanaka undertakes multidisciplinary study on Tetrapyrrole and Heme. In his articles, Kan Tanaka combines various disciplines, including Heme and Ferrochelatase. In his research, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Gene and Evolutionary biology. His work blends Evolutionary biology and Gene studies together. Many of his studies on Biochemistry apply to Starch as well. His study brings together the fields of Biochemistry and Starch.
