Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in DNA, Molecular biology, Genetics, Gene and Mitosis. His DNA study often links to related topics such as Genome. His Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Telomere, DNA replication, Tandem repeat and Primer.

His work on Telomestatin is typically connected to Telomerase RNA component as part of general Telomere study, connecting several disciplines of science. When carried out as part of a general Genetics research project, his work on Sister chromatids, Chromosome, RRNA transcription and Transfer RNA is frequently linked to work in Tritium, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His studies deal with areas such as Cell culture, Chinese hamster ovary cell, Cell division, Ovary and Cell cycle as well as Mitosis.

His most cited work include:

  • Inhibition of telomerase by G-quartet DNA structures. (928 citations)
  • CHANGES IN SURFACE MORPHOLOGY OF CHINESE HAMSTER OVARY CELLS DURING THE CELL CYCLE (352 citations)
  • Enucleation of mammalian cells with cytochalasin B (203 citations)

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

David M. Prescott mostly deals with DNA, Genetics, Gene, Molecular biology and Cell biology. His DNA study introduces a deeper knowledge of Biochemistry. His Molecular biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plasmid, Satellite DNA, Primer and DNA synthesis.

His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cell cycle, Cell and Cell division. His research integrates issues of Cell culture, Cell growth and Period in his study of Cell cycle. His Macronucleus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in RNA splicing, Paramecium and Homologous recombination.

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Gene, DNA, Gene assembly, Genetics and Macronucleus. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including RNA and Cell biology. He focuses mostly in the field of Cell biology, narrowing it down to matters related to Cell and, in some cases, Chinese hamster ovary cell and Bacteria.

His Macronucleus research integrates issues from RNA splicing and Somatic cell. His work in Germline addresses issues such as Hypotrich, which are connected to fields such as Models of DNA evolution, Coding region and DNA polymerase I. His Oxytricha research incorporates elements of Plasmid and Molecular biology.

Between 1998 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Genome gymnastics: unique modes of dna evolution and processing in ciliates (145 citations)
  • Molecular operations for DNA processing in hypotrichous ciliates (89 citations)
  • Template-guided recombination for IES elimination and unscrambling of genes in stichotrichous ciliates. (80 citations)
