Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • RNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ribosomal RNA, Cell biology, Nucleolus, Ribosome and Small nucleolar RNA. Denis L. J. Lafontaine has researched Ribosomal RNA in several fields, including RNA and RRNA modification. Denis L. J. Lafontaine has included themes like Molecular biology and Granular component in his RNA study.

His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from RNA-binding protein and Dyskerin. His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Ribosome biogenesis and Biogenesis. His Small nucleolar RNA study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fibrillarin and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

His most cited work include:

  • A new system for naming ribosomal proteins (347 citations)
  • Melanoma addiction to the long non-coding RNA SAMMSON. (281 citations)
  • The box H+ACA snoRNAs carry Cbf5p, the putative rRNA pseudouridine synthase (278 citations)

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

Denis L. J. Lafontaine focuses on Ribosomal RNA, Cell biology, Ribosome, RNA and Genetics. His research in Ribosomal RNA intersects with topics in Translation, Ribosome biogenesis, RRNA modification and 5.8S ribosomal RNA. His Cell biology research focuses on Nucleolus in particular.

The various areas that Denis L. J. Lafontaine examines in his Ribosome study include 18S ribosomal RNA, Trans-acting and Yeast. Denis L. J. Lafontaine has included themes like Messenger RNA, Computational biology and Intron in his RNA study. His research integrates issues of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Fungal protein, SnoRNA processing, Fibrillarin and RNA-binding protein in his study of Small nucleolar RNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ribosomal RNA (48.35%)
  • Cell biology (50.55%)
  • Ribosome (36.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (50.55%)
  • Ribosomal RNA (48.35%)
  • Ribosome biogenesis (25.27%)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Ribosomal RNA, Ribosome biogenesis, RNA and Ribosome. His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Ribonucleoprotein, Transcription and Protein biosynthesis. The study incorporates disciplines such as Translation, Small nucleolar RNA and Caenorhabditis elegans in addition to Ribosomal RNA.

His Ribosome biogenesis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both RRNA processing and Ribosome assembly. His RNA research integrates issues from Cleavage, Gene expression, Progeria, Epitranscriptomics and Computational biology. His Ribosome study improves the overall literature in Biochemistry.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The human 18S rRNA m6A methyltransferase METTL5 is stabilized by TRMT112. (74 citations)
  • SAMMSON fosters cancer cell fitness by concertedly enhancing mitochondrial and cytosolic translation. (37 citations)
  • AlkAniline-Seq: Profiling of m 7 G and m 3 C RNA Modifications at Single Nucleotide Resolution (36 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • RNA

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Ribosome, Ribosomal RNA, RNA and Ribosome biogenesis. Denis L. J. Lafontaine studies Nucleoplasm which is a part of Cell biology. To a larger extent, Denis L. J. Lafontaine studies Biochemistry with the aim of understanding Ribosome.

Denis L. J. Lafontaine combines subjects such as Biogenesis, RRNA processing and Transcription with his study of Ribosomal RNA. His RNA study combines topics in areas such as Regulation of gene expression, Computational biology, Mitochondrion and Mitochondrial translation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nucleolus and Organelle.
