Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study David R. Zusman is best known for:

Gene
DNA
Enzyme

David R. Zusman performs integrative Gene and Gene product research in his work. David R. Zusman performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Gene product and Gene expression via his papers. In his works, David R. Zusman performs multidisciplinary study on Gene expression and DNA methylation. He integrates many fields, such as DNA methylation and Methylation, in his works. By researching both Methylation and Demethylation, David R. Zusman produces research that crosses academic boundaries. He connects Demethylation with Enzyme in his study. While working on this project, he studies both Enzyme and Mutant. His Mutant study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Myxococcus xanthus. Much of his study explores Myxococcus xanthus relationship to Genetics.

His most cited work include:

Development in Myxococcus xanthus involves differentiation into two cell types, peripheral rods and spores (119 citations)
Developmental sensory transduction in Myxococcus xanthus involves methylation and demethylation of FrzCD (94 citations)
Methylation of FrzCD, a methyl-accepting taxis protein of Myxococcus xanthus, is correlated with factors affecting cell behavior (86 citations)

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