Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • RNA

Alan M. Weiner mostly deals with Genetics, Small nuclear RNA, RNA, Prp24 and Base pair. His work on RNA splicing, Intron and DNA replication as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Primase, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Small nuclear RNA study is concerned with Biochemistry in general.

His work in RNA tackles topics such as Pseudogene which are related to areas like Human genome. His research investigates the link between Prp24 and topics such as snRNP that cross with problems in Integrator complex, Enhancer, Promoter, RNA polymerase II and Transcription preinitiation complex. His research in RNA editing tackles topics such as Ribozyme which are related to areas like Transfer RNA.

His most cited work include:

  • A compensatory base change in U1 snRNA suppresses a 5' splice site mutation (494 citations)
  • tRNA-like structures tag the 3' ends of genomic RNA molecules for replication: implications for the origin of protein synthesis. (258 citations)
  • A compensatory base change in human U2 snRNA can suppress a branch site mutation. (224 citations)

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

Alan M. Weiner mainly focuses on Genetics, RNA, Small nuclear RNA, Molecular biology and Gene. His work often combines Genetics and Repeat unit studies. His RNA research includes themes of Computational biology, DNA and Intron.

His Small nuclear RNA research integrates issues from snRNP, RNA splicing, Prp24 and Base pair. The Molecular biology study which covers Oligonucleotide that intersects with Cell biology. His RNA editing study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Non-coding RNA and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (54.55%)
  • RNA (49.35%)
  • Small nuclear RNA (42.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2006)?

  • RNA (49.35%)
  • Genetics (54.55%)
  • Transfer RNA (16.88%)

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

His main research concerns RNA, Genetics, Transfer RNA, Genome and DNA. His RNA study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology and Transcription. He mostly deals with Small nuclear RNA in his studies of Transcription.

His work in the fields of Genetics, such as Molecular evolution, Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase and myr, intersects with other areas such as Biosynthetic enzyme and Domain. His biological study deals with issues like Protein biosynthesis, which deal with fields such as Amino acid, Tyrosine and Apoptosis. When carried out as part of a general Genome research project, his work on Human genome is frequently linked to work in Retroposon, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Between 1998 and 2006, his most popular works were:

  • Association of snRNA genes with coiled bodies is mediated by nascent snRNA transcripts. (103 citations)
  • Activation of p53 or Loss of the Cockayne Syndrome Group B Repair Protein Causes Metaphase Fragility of Human U1, U2, and 5S Genes (81 citations)
  • The Genomic Tag Hypothesis: Modern Viruses as Molecular Fossils of Ancient Strategies for Genomic Replication, and Clues Regarding the Origin of Protein Synthesis (38 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • RNA

His primary areas of investigation include RNA, Transcription, Genetics, Small RNA and DNA repair. His work on RNA polymerase II expands to the thematically related RNA. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including snRNP, General transcription factor, Small nuclear RNA, Prp24 and Coilin.

The concepts of his Small RNA study are interwoven with issues in Elongation factor and Molecular biology. His studies deal with areas such as Plasmid, DNA, Genome and Protein biosynthesis as well as Primer binding site. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Transfer RNA and Protein biosynthesis.
