Reiji Okazaki was born in 1930.
Reiji Okazaki died in 1975.
Reiji and Tsuneko Okazaki, along with colleagues, discovered short DNA fragments called Okazaki fragments that are synthesized discontinuously during DNA replication on the lagging strand. Their work helped to elucidate the process of DNA replication and how it occurs on both the leading and lagging strands, leading to the development of the Okazaki fragment model for DNA replication.
Esaki Reiji was born in 1845.
Reiji Nakajima was born on 1979-06-28.
Technically he did not "invent" anything, but he found out and proved that one of the two strands in new forming DNA during replication is replicating discontinuously, which means there are small fragments of DNA, which are to be connected afterwards. These fragments are named after him Okazaki fragments.
