About
Hideya Kawaji is a leading figure in functional genomics, best known for his pioneering work in transcriptome analysis and the development of high-throughput methods for mapping transcription start sites. His major contributions center on Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE), a technology that globally identifies transcriptional starting sites and their expression levels. Notably, he spearheaded the adaptation of CAGE to single-molecule sequencing platforms, as detailed in his highly cited 2012 paper, "Automated Workflow for Preparation of cDNA for Cap Analysis of Gene Expression on a Single Molecule Sequencer" (27 citations). This work streamlined the preparation of cDNA libraries, significantly enhancing the sensitivity and throughput of transcriptome profiling. Kawaji’s research has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of promoter usage and non-coding RNA regulation, with his studies collectively accumulating thousands of citations. As a key contributor to the FANTOM consortium, his achievements include the comprehensive annotation of mammalian transcriptomes, providing an invaluable resource for the scientific community. His methodological innovations continue to shape the field of genomics, enabling deeper insights into gene regulation.
