Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Gene, Plasmid, Mutant and Molecular biology. Many of his studies on Genetics apply to Strain as well. His Gene research includes elements of Chloramphenicol and Gentamicin.

His research integrates issues of Amino acid, Nucleic acid sequence, Sphingomonas paucimobilis and Pseudomonas putida in his study of Plasmid. His Mutant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Antibiotics and Microbiology. The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Chromosomal region and Operon.

His most cited work include:

  • A urease-negative mutant of Helicobacter pylori constructed by allelic exchange mutagenesis lacks the ability to colonize the nude mouse stomach. (250 citations)
  • Redesigning Dehalogenase Access Tunnels as a Strategy for Degrading an Anthropogenic Substrate. (198 citations)
  • GenomeMatcher: A graphical user interface for DNA sequence comparison (178 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Gene, Plasmid, Microbiology and Biochemistry. His Gene research incorporates elements of Molecular biology, Burkholderia multivorans, DNA and Bacteria. His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Regulator gene and Escherichia coli.

His Plasmid study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nucleic acid sequence, Chromosome, Strain and Pseudomonas putida. His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sphingomonas and Mutant. While the research belongs to areas of Haloalkane dehalogenase, Masataka Tsuda spends his time largely on the problem of Mutagenesis, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Stereochemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (41.07%)
  • Gene (41.07%)
  • Plasmid (32.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Gene (41.07%)
  • Whole genome sequencing (15.48%)
  • Plasmid (32.74%)

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

Masataka Tsuda mainly investigates Gene, Whole genome sequencing, Plasmid, Strain and Genetics. His Gene study combines topics in areas such as Burkholderia multivorans and Bacteria. Masataka Tsuda has included themes like Polyethylene glycol, Circular bacterial chromosome and Bioinformatics in his Whole genome sequencing study.

His Plasmid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Chromosome and Transposable element. His Strain study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stereochemistry, Microbiology and Phenanthrene. His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Signal peptide, Endoplasmic reticulum, Mutant and Microbial population biology.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Design and experimental application of a novel non-degenerate universal primer set that amplifies prokaryotic 16S rRNA genes with a low possibility to amplify eukaryotic rRNA genes. (165 citations)
  • Isolation of oxygenase genes for indigo-forming activity from an artificially polluted soil metagenome by functional screening using Pseudomonas putida strains as hosts (29 citations)
  • Properties and biotechnological applications of natural and engineered haloalkane dehalogenases (28 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

Masataka Tsuda mainly focuses on Gene, Plasmid, Genetics, Genome and Whole genome sequencing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Burkholderia multivorans, Microbiology and Bacteria in addition to Gene. Masataka Tsuda has researched Bacteria in several fields, including Xenobiotic and Horizontal gene transfer.

His research investigates the connection with Plasmid and areas like Chromosome which intersect with concerns in Sphingomonas sp.. All of his Genetics and Ribosomal RNA, Transposable element, Inverted Repeat Sequences, 16S ribosomal RNA and Metagenomics investigations are sub-components of the entire Genetics study. His Whole genome sequencing course of study focuses on Strain and Polychlorinated biphenyl, Biphenyl, Nucleic acid sequence, Thermophile and Molecular biology.
