Meet researchers with whom I have exchanged ideas, grouped by research keywords. These profiles introduce their work, its connections to my research, and where we have interacted.
We worked together at the University of Tokyo on zebrafish photoreceptor subtypes. He has been a close collaborator in research aimed at understanding the mechanisms that control photoreceptor differentiation.
He studies gene regulatory networks underlying photoreceptor development, function, and evolution, as well as the molecular mechanisms of animal color vision.
Joe was my mentor during my postdoctoral years at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Our discussions have centered on retinal and photoreceptor diversity and the regulation of gene expression.
He compares genomes across diverse vertebrates to explore the evolution of genes and genome architecture and the molecular basis of biodiversity.
His work connects with my studies of repeat identification and cross-species comparisons, as well as noncoding genomic regions. A shared interest is understanding gene regulation in the context of genome composition and evolution.
Where we connect
He is my current supervisor at the Molecular Life History Laboratory, National Institute of Genetics in Mishima. Discussions within the lab help me develop ideas about comparative genomics and the analysis of repetitive sequences.
