Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • RNA

RNA, RNA editing, RNA-binding protein, Molecular biology and ADAR are her primary areas of study. RNA is a subfield of Genetics that Kazuko Nishikura explores. Her work in Genetics addresses issues such as Computational biology, which are connected to fields such as RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and Small nuclear RNA.

Her study looks at the intersection of RNA-binding protein and topics like Complementary DNA with Translation and Inosine. Her Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gene and DNA. Her RNA silencing research incorporates themes from Gene silencing, Intron and Cell biology.

Her most cited work include:

  • TRBP recruits the Dicer complex to Ago2 for microRNA processing and gene silencing. (1691 citations)
  • Functions and Regulation of RNA Editing by ADAR Deaminases (796 citations)
  • Redirection of Silencing Targets by Adenosine-to-Inosine Editing of miRNAs (618 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in RNA editing, RNA, Molecular biology, RNA silencing and Gene. Her research in RNA editing intersects with topics in microRNA, RNA-binding protein and Cell biology. Her studies deal with areas such as RNA-induced silencing complex and DNA as well as Cell biology.

Kazuko Nishikura has included themes like Adenosine and Adenosine deaminase in her RNA study. Her studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Exon, Cell culture, Gene expression and Chromosomal translocation. She has researched RNA silencing in several fields, including Gene silencing and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, RNA-induced transcriptional silencing, Small interfering RNA.

  • RNA editing (61.36%)
  • RNA (51.14%)
  • Cell biology (21.59%)

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

Kazuko Nishikura focuses on RNA editing, RNA, Cell biology, Genetics and ADAR. Her RNA editing study incorporates themes from RNA interference, RNA silencing, Dicer, microRNA and RNA-binding protein. The RNA study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology, Cancer and DNA repair.

Her Molecular biology research includes themes of DNA/RNA non-specific endonuclease, Biochemistry, DNA, Ribonuclease and Endoribonuclease. The study incorporates disciplines such as Telomere, RNase P and Telomerase in addition to Cell biology. Her ADAR research integrates issues from RNA splicing and Computational biology.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A-to-I editing of coding and non-coding RNAs by ADARs (383 citations)
  • Dynamic landscape and regulation of RNA editing in mammals (243 citations)
  • ADAR1 Forms a Complex with Dicer to Promote MicroRNA Processing and RNA-Induced Gene Silencing (203 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Kazuko Nishikura spends much of her time researching RNA editing, RNA, ADAR, Genetics and Gene. The RNA editing study which covers RNA interference that intersects with Cell biology. Her primary area of study in RNA is in the field of RNA-binding protein.

In her research on the topic of RNA-binding protein, Molecular biology is strongly related with DNA repair. Kazuko Nishikura combines subjects such as RNA-induced silencing complex, RNA-induced transcriptional silencing, Argonaute, Small interfering RNA and RNA silencing with her study of Molecular biology. Kazuko Nishikura usually deals with ADAR and limits it to topics linked to Computational biology and Ribonuclease III and microRNA.
