Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

Christoph Plass mainly investigates DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Genetics, Cancer research and Molecular biology. His DNA methylation research integrates issues from Histone and Methylation. Christoph Plass has researched Methylation in several fields, including Tumor suppressor gene, Colorectal cancer, Transcription factor and Restriction landmark genomic scanning.

His Epigenetics study incorporates themes from Cancer, Internal medicine, Epigenesis and Epigenome. His studies in Cancer research integrate themes in fields like Gene silencing, Chromatin remodeling, Estrogen receptor and Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. His work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as Prostate, Fusion gene, SWI/SNF, Gene duplication and Regulation of gene expression.

His most cited work include:

  • Epigenetic differences arise during the lifetime of monozygotic twins (2717 citations)
  • Driver mutations in histone H3.3 and chromatin remodelling genes in paediatric glioblastoma (1542 citations)
  • Aberrant CpG-island methylation has non-random and tumour-type-specific patterns. (1189 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Cancer research, Methylation and Genetics. His DNA methylation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Molecular biology and Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. His study explores the link between Epigenetics and topics such as Histone that cross with problems in Chromatin.

His Cancer research research includes elements of Carcinogenesis, Tumor suppressor gene, Gene silencing and microRNA. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Methylation, concentrating on Epigenetics of physical exercise and frequently concerns with RNA-Directed DNA Methylation. Christoph Plass has included themes like Computational biology and Cancer epigenetics in his Epigenomics study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • DNA methylation (60.38%)
  • Epigenetics (40.81%)
  • Cancer research (39.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • DNA methylation (60.38%)
  • Epigenetics (40.81%)
  • Cancer research (39.14%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Cancer research, Computational biology and Methylation. His work in DNA methylation tackles topics such as DNA which are related to areas like CpG site. His Epigenetics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cancer, Enhancer, Cell biology, Histone and Epigenome.

The concepts of his Cancer research study are interwoven with issues in Gene expression, Transcription factor, microRNA, Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. His Methylation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Enhancer binding, Oncology, Gene mutation, Promoter and DNA repair. His Gene research is classified as research in Genetics.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes (538 citations)
  • Maftools: efficient and comprehensive analysis of somatic variants in cancer. (380 citations)
  • Maftools: efficient and comprehensive analysis of somatic variants in cancer. (380 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

Christoph Plass mostly deals with DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Cancer research, Histone and Genetics. His DNA methylation research includes themes of Transcriptome, Methylation and Internal medicine. His Epigenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Carcinogenesis, Reprogramming, Immunology, Cell biology and Epigenome.

He interconnects Cancer cell, Mutant, Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and H3F3B in the investigation of issues within Cancer research. His Histone research incorporates themes from Osteosarcoma, Giant-cell tumor of bone, Chromatin, Long terminal repeat and PTEN. His research on Genetics often connects related topics like Andrology.
