Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
DNA
Enzyme

Yoshiro Shimura mostly deals with Genetics, Arabidopsis, RNA splicing, Exon and Cell biology. His Arabidopsis research incorporates themes from Arabidopsis thaliana and Cotyledon, Botany. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transformation, Agrobacterium and Transformation efficiency.

His work in RNA splicing addresses issues such as Intron, which are connected to fields such as Exonic splicing enhancer, Recognition sequence, Enhancer, Splicing factor and Splice site mutation. Yoshiro Shimura works mostly in the field of Exon, limiting it down to topics relating to Drosophila melanogaster and, in certain cases, Doublesex and Primary transcript. Yoshiro Shimura interconnects MYB, Trichome patterning and Root hair in the investigation of issues within Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

The Arabidopsis HY5 gene encodes a bZIP protein that regulates stimulus-induced development of root and hypocotyl (597 citations)
Epidermal cell differentiation in Arabidopsis determined by a Myb homolog, CPC (459 citations)
Structural basis for recognition of the tra mRNA precursor by the Sex-lethal protein. (319 citations)

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

His main research concerns Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Genetics, Gene and RNA splicing. His research in Molecular biology focuses on subjects like Peptide sequence, which are connected to Complementary DNA. His work on Gene deals in particular with Arabidopsis, Nucleic acid sequence, Consensus sequence, Morphogenesis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene expression, Homeotic gene, Botany and Cell biology. His research in RNA splicing intersects with topics in Messenger RNA, Alternative splicing, Exon and Intron. His Exon research focuses on subjects like Drosophila melanogaster, which are linked to Doublesex.

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

Yoshiro Shimura focuses on Cell biology, Arabidopsis, Biochemistry, Mutant and RNA. His Cell biology research includes elements of Genetics, Protein-RNA complex, Root hair elongation, splice and Intron. Yoshiro Shimura merges Genetics with Secondary thickening in his study.

His study with Arabidopsis involves better knowledge in Gene. His Mutant research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Molecular biology, Regulation of gene expression, Nuclear protein and Ribozyme. His work deals with themes such as Drosophila melanogaster and Binding domain, which intersect with RNA.

Between 1995 and 2003, his most popular works were:

The Arabidopsis HY5 gene encodes a bZIP protein that regulates stimulus-induced development of root and hypocotyl (597 citations)
Epidermal cell differentiation in Arabidopsis determined by a Myb homolog, CPC (459 citations)
Structural basis for recognition of the tra mRNA precursor by the Sex-lethal protein. (319 citations)
