Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Alice Barkan mostly deals with Genetics, RNA, Pentatricopeptide repeat, Cell biology and Intron. Her study in Genetics focuses on Gene expression, Gene, RNA editing and Plastid. The Pentatricopeptide repeat study combines topics in areas such as Ribosome, Protein family, RNA-binding protein, Computational biology and Organelle biogenesis.

Alice Barkan has included themes like Chloroplast DNA, Chloroplast stroma and Mutant in her Cell biology study. Her work carried out in the field of Intron brings together such families of science as Non-coding RNA and RNA splicing. Alice Barkan studies RNA splicing, namely Group II intron.

Her most cited work include:

  • Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in plants (549 citations)
  • Redesigning photosynthesis to sustainably meet global food and bioenergy demand (415 citations)
  • A Combinatorial Amino Acid Code for RNA Recognition by Pentatricopeptide Repeat Proteins (358 citations)

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

Alice Barkan mainly investigates Genetics, RNA, Intron, RNA splicing and Gene. Genetics and Cell biology are frequently intertwined in her study. Her work in RNA addresses subjects such as Binding site, which are connected to disciplines such as Computational biology and Plasma protein binding.

In her research, Group II intron splicing, Splicing factor, Exonic splicing enhancer, Minor spliceosome and SR protein is intimately related to Group II intron, which falls under the overarching field of Intron. As a part of the same scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Gene, focusing on Molecular biology and, on occasion, Nucleic acid, Nucleotide and Recombinant DNA. As a part of the same scientific study, Alice Barkan usually deals with the Pentatricopeptide repeat, concentrating on Translation and frequently concerns with Open reading frame.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (62.50%)
  • RNA (41.67%)
  • Intron (32.29%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • RNA (41.67%)
  • Genetics (62.50%)
  • Pentatricopeptide repeat (22.92%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in RNA, Genetics, Pentatricopeptide repeat, Gene and Ribosome. Her work deals with themes such as Molecular biology, Protein family, Gene expression and Cell biology, which intersect with RNA. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Small RNA and RNA editing.

Her Intron, Protein biosynthesis, Nuclear gene, Plastid and Regulation of gene expression study are her primary interests in Genetics. Alice Barkan has researched Intron in several fields, including RNA splicing and Group II intron. Her studies deal with areas such as Translation, Computational biology, Untranslated region and Binding site as well as Pentatricopeptide repeat.

Between 2011 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in plants (549 citations)
  • Redesigning photosynthesis to sustainably meet global food and bioenergy demand (415 citations)
  • A Combinatorial Amino Acid Code for RNA Recognition by Pentatricopeptide Repeat Proteins (358 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Alice Barkan focuses on Genetics, RNA, RNA-binding protein, Intron and Pentatricopeptide repeat. Genetics is a component of her RNA editing, Gene, Arabidopsis and Ribosome studies. Alice Barkan focuses mostly in the field of RNA, narrowing it down to matters related to Protein structure and, in some cases, Translation, Protein family, Alpha solenoid, Bioinformatics and Organelle biogenesis.

Her work carried out in the field of RNA-binding protein brings together such families of science as Non-coding RNA and Small nuclear RNA. Her studies deal with areas such as RNA splicing and Group II intron as well as Intron. The various areas that she examines in her Pentatricopeptide repeat study include Peptide sequence, Protein sequencing, Sequence alignment and Binding site.
