Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Mitochondrial DNA, Genetics, Molecular biology, Promoter and Gene. David A. Clayton combines subjects such as Mutation, Mitochondrion and DNA, DNA replication with his study of Mitochondrial DNA. David A. Clayton focuses mostly in the field of DNA, narrowing it down to matters related to RNA and, in some cases, Ribosomal RNA and Genome evolution.

His research in the fields of Genome, Nucleic acid sequence and Sequence overlaps with other disciplines such as mtDNA control region. His Molecular biology research includes elements of Mitochondrial nucleoid, Non-coding RNA, Nuclear RNase P and RNase H. His work in Promoter covers topics such as Transcription which are related to areas like Transcription factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Sequence and gene organization of mouse mitochondrial DNA (1419 citations)
  • Mitochondrial transcription factor A is necessary for mtDNA maintenance and embryogenesis in mice (1199 citations)
  • Replication of animal mitochondrial DNA (1030 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Mitochondrial DNA, Molecular biology, Genetics, Transcription and RNA. His Mitochondrial DNA study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mitochondrion, Genome and DNA, DNA replication. David A. Clayton interconnects DNA clamp, Biophysics, TFAM, Heavy strand and Cell biology in the investigation of issues within Molecular biology.

His Promoter, Human mitochondrial genetics, Origin of replication and Nucleic acid sequence study in the realm of Genetics interacts with subjects such as mtDNA control region. His studies in Promoter integrate themes in fields like HMG-box and Transcription factor. His RNA course of study focuses on Ribosomal RNA and 28S ribosomal RNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mitochondrial DNA (52.15%)
  • Molecular biology (43.56%)
  • Genetics (41.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2016)?

  • Mitochondrial DNA (52.15%)
  • Genetics (41.10%)
  • Mitochondrion (15.95%)

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

Mitochondrial DNA, Genetics, Mitochondrion, Cell biology and DNA are his primary areas of study. His Mitochondrial DNA research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Molecular biology, Genome and DNA replication. The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in TFAM, Isogenic human disease models, Gene, Nuclear gene and Gene dosage.

His study in Transcription, RNA, Promoter, Response element and General transcription factor is carried out as part of his studies in Genetics. His work carried out in the field of Mitochondrion brings together such families of science as Centrifugation, Differential centrifugation and Tissue culture. His work on Mitochondrial DNA replication as part of general DNA research is frequently linked to Replication, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 2000 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Initiation and beyond: multiple functions of the human mitochondrial transcription machinery. (258 citations)
  • Recombination of Human Mitochondrial DNA (244 citations)
  • Correlative 3D superresolution fluorescence and electron microscopy reveal the relationship of mitochondrial nucleoids to membranes (183 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Mitochondrial DNA, Genetics, DNA replication, Molecular biology and Mitochondrion. Borrowing concepts from mtDNA control region, David A. Clayton weaves in ideas under Mitochondrial DNA. His works in General transcription factor, Transcription factories, TAF2, Promoter and Transcription factor II F are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics.

David A. Clayton combines subjects such as Cell culture, Polymerase chain reaction and Agarose with his study of DNA replication. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Internal medicine, Skeletal muscle, Knockout mouse, Respiratory chain and Mitochondrial biogenesis. His Mitochondrion study combines topics in areas such as Gene dosage, Photoactivated localization microscopy, Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy and Nucleoid.
