Okazaki was born in Hiroshima, Japan. He graduated in 1953 from Nagoya University, and worked as a professor there after 1963. He died of leukemia in 1975 at the age of 44; he had been heavily irradiated in Hiroshima when the first atomic bomb was dropped. Okazaki FragmentsIn 1968, Okazaki discovered the way in which the lagging strand of DNA is replicated via fragments, now called Okazaki fragments.[1][2][3][4] {{Citation needed span|text=The experiments by his group used E. coli. After introducing 3T-thymidine for only ten seconds to E. coli during DNA replication, he placed the sample in a test tube of alkaline sucrose. The larger, heavier DNA flowed to the bottom of the test tube, while the smaller, lighter DNA did not. When samples were taken from the bottom of the test tube, it was found that half were heavy and half were light, proving that half of the DNA was complete and half was in fragments. Then he took a sample of E. coli DNA that had been synthesized for an additional five seconds, and found all the activity now resulted in the larger molecular weight. Therefore, there were no longer any fragments. This proved that during this five-second phase, the RNA primer was removed by DNA polymerase I, and the bases were joined together by DNA ligase, leaving the newly synthesized DNA fully mature and repaired.|date=March 2019|reason=}}References1. ^{{Cite journal | last1 = Okazaki | first1 = R. | last2 = Okazaki | first2 = T. | last3 = Sakabe | first3 = K. | last4 = Sugimoto | first4 = K. | last5 = Sugino | first5 = A. | title = Mechanism of DNA chain growth.
