Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • RNA

His primary areas of study are Sendai virus, Molecular biology, RNA, Virology and Genome. Sendai virus is a primary field of his research addressed under Gene. The Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Plasmid, Polymerase, Virus, Viral replication and Messenger RNA.

His work deals with themes such as Protein structure, Nucleoprotein and Transcription, which intersect with RNA. His research in Virology tackles topics such as Cell culture which are related to areas like Regulation of gene expression, Reporter gene, Interferon beta, Centrifugation and Nucleic acid thermodynamics. The concepts of his Genome study are interwoven with issues in Isolation, Innate immune system and DNA.

His most cited work include:

  • Paramyxovirus RNA Synthesis and the Requirement for Hexamer Genome Length: the Rule of Six Revisited (309 citations)
  • A highly recombinogenic system for the recovery of infectious Sendai paramyxovirus from cDNA: generation of a novel copy-back nondefective interfering virus. (235 citations)
  • Complexes of Sendai virus NP-P and P-L proteins are required for defective interfering particle genome replication in vitro. (233 citations)

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

Virology, Sendai virus, Molecular biology, RNA and Genome are his primary areas of study. Sendai virus is a subfield of Gene that Daniel Kolakofsky tackles. His studies deal with areas such as Amino acid, Peptide sequence, Messenger RNA and Viral replication as well as Molecular biology.

His RNA research incorporates themes from Polymerase and Transcription. His research investigates the connection with Genome and areas like Nucleotide which intersect with concerns in Leader rna. His work carried out in the field of Virus brings together such families of science as Recombinant DNA and Virulence.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (55.26%)
  • Sendai virus (53.29%)
  • Molecular biology (47.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?

  • Virology (55.26%)
  • RNA (46.05%)
  • Genome (34.87%)

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

Daniel Kolakofsky mostly deals with Virology, RNA, Genome, Molecular biology and RNA silencing. His study in Virology focuses on Sendai virus and Interferon. His Sendai virus research incorporates elements of Messenger RNA, Cell fusion and Furin.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of RNA, Promoter is strongly linked to Polymerase. The various areas that Daniel Kolakofsky examines in his Genome study include Virus, Nucleoprotein and Reporter gene. His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Amino acid, Viral replication, DNA and Green fluorescent protein.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Sendai virus defective-interfering genomes and the activation of interferon-beta. (161 citations)
  • Paramyxovirus mRNA editing, the "rule of six" and error catastrophe: a hypothesis. (150 citations)
  • A structure-based model of RIG-I activation (107 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • RNA

Daniel Kolakofsky spends much of his time researching RNA, Virology, RNA silencing, RIG-I and Molecular biology. His RNA research is under the purview of Genetics. His study in Genetics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Protein structure and Computational biology.

His study in Virology concentrates on Sendai virus and Interferon. His study on DEAD Box Protein 58 is often connected to Arenavirus as part of broader study in RIG-I. His Molecular biology study frequently links to other fields, such as Viral replication.
