About
Dr. Fumi Hori is a leading figure in functional genomics, best known for her pivotal contributions to the FANTOM5 project, which revolutionized our understanding of gene regulation. Her most-cited work, the landmark 2017 paper "FANTOM5 CAGE profiles of human and mouse samples" (361 citations), mapped transcription initiation events across the human and mouse genomes at single base-pair resolution. By applying Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) coupled with single-molecule sequencing to nearly three thousand samples, Dr. Hori and her colleagues created an unprecedented atlas of promoters and enhancers, fundamentally reshaping how researchers interpret gene regulatory networks. This massive resource has become an essential reference for studying cell-type-specific transcription and disease mechanisms. Dr. Hori’s expertise in high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics has enabled the systematic characterization of transcription start sites, providing a foundational tool for the genomics community. Her work exemplifies the power of large-scale collaborative science, and her contributions continue to drive discoveries in developmental biology, cancer research, and precision medicine.
