Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Her primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Gene, Genome and Evolutionary biology. Her Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Molecular evolution, Nuclear gene and RNA investigations are all subjects of Genetics research. Genomic organization is closely connected to Conserved sequence in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Mitochondrial DNA.

As part of one scientific family, Cecilia Saccone deals mainly with the area of Gene, narrowing it down to issues related to the DNA, and often Deamination, Transcription and Mitochondrial biogenesis. Her Genome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mutation, Genetic code, Transfer RNA and mitochondrial fusion. Cecilia Saccone usually deals with Evolutionary biology and limits it to topics linked to Evolutionary dynamics and Generation time, Fixation, Ribosomal RNA and Multiple sequence alignment.

Her most cited work include:

  • A new method for calculating evolutionary substitution rates (1264 citations)
  • The complete nucleotide sequence of the Rattus norvegicus mitochondrial genome: cryptic signals revealed by comparative analysis between vertebrates. (472 citations)
  • Mammalian mitochondrial D-loop region structural analysis: identification of new conserved sequences and their functional and evolutionary implications (411 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Gene, Genome and Molecular biology. She works mostly in the field of Genetics, limiting it down to topics relating to Evolutionary biology and, in certain cases, Evolutionary dynamics, as a part of the same area of interest. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Mitochondrial DNA, Organelle is strongly linked to Mitochondrion.

She has included themes like mitochondrial fusion and Computational biology in her Genome study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including RNA, Messenger RNA and Rat liver. Her RNA research integrates issues from Polymerase and Transcription.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (51.50%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (46.50%)
  • Gene (34.00%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2001-2018)?

  • Genetics (51.50%)
  • Gene (34.00%)
  • Genome (24.00%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Gene, Genome, Mitochondrial DNA and Evolutionary biology. Many of her studies on Genetics involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Computational biology. Her Gene course of study focuses on DNA and Organelle, Cell biology and Ion homeostasis.

Her work on Nuclear gene and Comparative genomics as part of general Genome study is frequently linked to Structural genomics, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her Mitochondrial DNA study combines topics in areas such as Mutation, Context, Genetic variation and Mitochondrion. In Phylogenetic tree, she works on issues like Conserved sequence, which are connected to Sequence and Data mining.

Between 2001 and 2018, her most popular works were:

  • UTRdb and UTRsite: a collection of sequences and regulatory motifs of the untranslated regions of eukaryotic mRNAs (157 citations)
  • Congruent Mammalian Trees from Mitochondrial and Nuclear Genes Using Bayesian Methods (115 citations)
  • Evolutionary patterns of the mitochondrial genome in Metazoa: Exploring the role of mutation and selection in mitochondrial protein-coding genes (109 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Cecilia Saccone mainly focuses on Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Gene, Genome and Evolutionary biology. Her study in Phylogenetic tree, Genetic variation, Promoter, In silico and Gene isoform is done as part of Genetics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phylogenetics and Conserved sequence in addition to Phylogenetic tree.

Cecilia Saccone combines subjects such as Molecular biology, Transfer RNA, Mitochondrion and Nucleoside with her study of Mitochondrial DNA. Her Mitochondrion research is multidisciplinary, relying on both RNA, Ribonucleoside, Nucleotide and Enzyme. Her study explores the link between Genome and topics such as Mutation that cross with problems in mitochondrial fusion, Respiratory chain, Codon usage bias, Genetic code and Uniparental inheritance.
