Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Alexander Schleiffer focuses on Genetics, Cohesin, Establishment of sister chromatid cohesion, Homologous chromosome and Cohesin complex. Genetics is often connected to Protein structure in his work. His work deals with themes such as Meiosis II and Meiosis, which intersect with Homologous chromosome.

His Cohesin complex research incorporates elements of Separase, Anaphase and Cohesin loading. Anaphase and Cell biology are commonly linked in his work. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as SMC protein and Condensin complex.

His most cited work include:

  • Yeast cohesin complex requires a conserved protein, Eco1p(Ctf7), to establish cohesion between sister chromatids during DNA replication. (542 citations)
  • Wapl Controls the Dynamic Association of Cohesin with Chromatin (458 citations)
  • Systematic analysis of human protein complexes identifies chromosome segregation proteins. (408 citations)

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

Alexander Schleiffer mostly deals with Cell biology, Genetics, Homologous chromosome, Cohesin and Establishment of sister chromatid cohesion. Alexander Schleiffer interconnects Ubiquitin, Recombination, Mutant, Zebrafish and Regulator in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. His study in Genetics focuses on Anaphase, Transcription factor, Gene, Chromatin and Interkinesis.

His research investigates the connection with Anaphase and areas like Mitosis which intersect with concerns in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. His Homologous chromosome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Meiosis II, Meiosis and Genetic recombination. In his research on the topic of Separase, Prophase is strongly related with Cohesin loading.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (76.74%)
  • Genetics (36.05%)
  • Homologous chromosome (17.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (76.74%)
  • Ubiquitin ligase (17.44%)
  • Ubiquitin (18.60%)

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

Alexander Schleiffer spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Ubiquitin ligase, Ubiquitin, Recombination and Mutant. Many of his research projects under Cell biology are closely connected to Membrane protein with Membrane protein, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work in the fields of Ubiquitin ligase, such as Protein ubiquitination, overlaps with other areas such as Dynein and Cerebrovascular disorder.

His research in Recombination intersects with topics in Homologous recombination, Meiosis and Homologous chromosome. His Meiosis research focuses on DNA and how it relates to Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 and Chromosomal crossover. The Mutant study combines topics in areas such as Regulator and Apoptosis.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Ly6/uPAR protein Bouncer is necessary and sufficient for species-specific fertilization (36 citations)
  • The Ly6/uPAR protein Bouncer is necessary and sufficient for species-specific fertilization (36 citations)
  • Endosome and Golgi-associated degradation (EGAD) of membrane proteins regulates sphingolipid metabolism. (24 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Alexander Schleiffer mainly focuses on Cell biology, PRDM9, Transcription Activation, Reading frame and Trans activation. His research on Cell biology focuses in particular on Endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation. PRDM9 combines with fields such as Meiosis, Homologous chromosome, Recombination, Homologous recombination and Pseudoautosomal region in his investigation.

With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Meiosis and Autosome. His work carried out in the field of Transcription Activation brings together such families of science as Regulation of gene expression, Transcription factor, Transcription and Computational biology.
