Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Minoru Tanaka mostly deals with Genetics, Cell biology, Oryzias, Somatic cell and Molecular biology. He has included themes like Oxygen, Germ line development and Sexual differentiation in his Cell biology study. His Sexual differentiation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sex reversal, Gonad and Germ cell.

His Oryzias study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Promoter, Green fluorescent protein and vasa gene. Somatic cell is closely attributed to Germline in his research. As part of the same scientific family, Minoru Tanaka usually focuses on Molecular biology, concentrating on Complementary DNA and intersecting with Ovarian follicle.

His most cited work include:

  • Positional cloning of the mouse circadian clock gene. (1153 citations)
  • A Medaka Gene Map: The Trace of Ancestral Vertebrate Proto-Chromosomes Revealed by Comparative Gene Mapping (237 citations)
  • Germ cells are essential for sexual dimorphism in the medaka gonad (190 citations)

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

Minoru Tanaka spends much of his time researching Genetics, Oryzias, Cell biology, Gene and Molecular biology. His study in Somatic cell, Sexual differentiation, Germ cell, Genome and Gene duplication is carried out as part of his Genetics studies. His studies deal with areas such as Endocrinology, Green fluorescent protein, Internal medicine, vasa gene and Sex reversal as well as Oryzias.

His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Vertebrate, Gonad, Germline, Ovary and Sperm. His research investigates the link between Germline and topics such as Stem cell that cross with problems in Mitosis. His research integrates issues of Transgene, Biochemistry, Complementary DNA, Rainbow trout and Ovarian follicle in his study of Molecular biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (41.55%)
  • Oryzias (38.73%)
  • Cell biology (35.92%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Cell biology (35.92%)
  • Sex reversal (19.72%)
  • Germline (21.83%)

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

Minoru Tanaka mainly investigates Cell biology, Sex reversal, Germline, Transcriptome and Oryzias. Minoru Tanaka has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Sperm, Meiosis and Sexual differentiation. His work deals with themes such as Starvation, Internal medicine and Endocrinology, which intersect with Sex reversal.

His study looks at the relationship between Germline and fields such as Germ cell, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Oryzias research includes elements of Seasonal breeder and Long non-coding RNA. Gene is the subject of his research, which falls under Genetics.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Dynamic plasticity in phototransduction regulates seasonal changes in color perception. (34 citations)
  • Dynamic plasticity in phototransduction regulates seasonal changes in color perception. (34 citations)
  • Dynamic plasticity in phototransduction regulates seasonal changes in color perception. (34 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Transcriptome, Cell biology, Color vision, Ecology and Photopigment. The study incorporates disciplines such as Germline, Oryzias, Germ cell, Sex reversal and Sexual differentiation in addition to Cell biology. Gene covers he research in Oryzias.

Minoru Tanaka interconnects DAZL, Meiosis, Gonocyte and Gametogenesis in the investigation of issues within Sex reversal. The various areas that Minoru Tanaka examines in his Sexual differentiation study include Regulator and Candidate gene. His research on Ecology often connects related areas such as Evolutionary biology.
