Akihito Fukudome studies the molecular biology of RNA and viruses, spanning two main threads: how plants process small RNA molecules and regulate gene activity, and the discovery and classification of novel viruses and RNA replicons found in environments such as hot springs and oceans. Recent work uses techniques like double-stranded RNA sequencing to identify previously unknown viruses associated with bacteria in extreme environments.
