Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Aharon Razin spends much of his time researching DNA methylation, Methylation, Genetics, DNA and RNA-Directed DNA Methylation. DNA methylation is often connected to Molecular biology in his work. His Methylation study introduces a deeper knowledge of Gene.

In general Gene study, his work on CpG site often relates to the realm of Blastula, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cell and Cancer, Pancreatic cancer. His research integrates issues of Differentially methylated regions and Epigenetics in his study of Epigenetics of physical exercise.

His most cited work include:

  • DNA methylation and gene function (1633 citations)
  • CpG methylation, chromatin structure and gene silencing-a three-way connection. (709 citations)
  • Sp1 elements protect a CpG island from de novo methylation (660 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Aharon Razin mainly investigates DNA methylation, Methylation, Molecular biology, Genetics and DNA. Aharon Razin combines subjects such as Regulation of gene expression and Restriction enzyme with his study of DNA methylation. He studied Methylation and CpG site that intersect with HpaII.

His Molecular biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as DNA clamp, DNA polymerase II, Circular bacterial chromosome, Demethylation and Methyltransferase. He works mostly in the field of Genetics, limiting it down to topics relating to Cell biology and, in certain cases, Familial dysautonomia, Downregulation and upregulation and IKBKAP. His study in DNA is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both 5-Methylcytosine and Cell.

He most often published in these fields:

  • DNA methylation (54.69%)
  • Methylation (46.09%)
  • Molecular biology (46.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2017)?

  • Genetics (42.97%)
  • DNA methylation (54.69%)
  • Methylation (46.09%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, DNA methylation, Methylation, Genomic imprinting and Gene. His Cell biology research extends to Genetics, which is thematically connected. His DNA methylation research includes themes of Chromatin, Molecular biology and Histone.

His research on Methylation concerns the broader DNA. The study incorporates disciplines such as Angelman syndrome and Imprinting in addition to Genomic imprinting. His work deals with themes such as Epigenomics and Histone methylation, which intersect with RNA-Directed DNA Methylation.

Between 2000 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Identification of tissue-specific cell death using methylation patterns of circulating DNA. (304 citations)
  • MeCP2 deficiency in Rett syndrome causes epigenetic aberrations at the PWS/AS imprinting center that affects UBE3A expression (108 citations)
  • MeCP2 deficiency in the brain decreases BDNF levels by REST/CoREST-mediated repression and increases TRKB production. (95 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are DNA methylation, Genetics, Gene, Epigenetics and Genomic imprinting. His DNA methylation study combines topics in areas such as Methylation, DNA, Pancreatic cancer, Pathology and MECP2. His research on Genetics focuses in particular on RNA-Directed DNA Methylation.

His RNA-Directed DNA Methylation research incorporates themes from Epigenetics of physical exercise, Epigenomics, Regulation of gene expression, Histone methylation and Illumina Methylation Assay. The concepts of his Gene study are interwoven with issues in Internal medicine and Familial dysautonomia. His research in Genomic imprinting intersects with topics in Angelman syndrome and Imprinting.
