Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Donald D. Brown mainly focuses on Molecular biology, Gene, Xenopus, RNA and Cell biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Transcription factor, DNA, Complementary DNA, Messenger RNA and Transcription. Donald D. Brown combines subjects such as RNA polymerase II, General transcription factor and Intron with his study of Transcription.

His Gene study is concerned with the field of Genetics as a whole. His Xenopus study combines topics in areas such as Thyroid hormone receptor, Hormone and Thyroid. His study explores the link between RNA and topics such as Ribosomal RNA that cross with problems in Ribosome, Cell nucleus, Oocyte and Melting curve analysis.

His most cited work include:

  • Specific Gene Amplification in Oocytes Oocyte nuclei contain extrachromosomal replicas of the genes for ribosomal RNA (670 citations)
  • A control region in the center of the 5S RNA gene directs specific initiation of transcription: II. The 3′ border of the region (502 citations)
  • RNA synthesis during the development of Xenopus laevis, the South African clawed toad (457 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Molecular biology, Xenopus, Gene, RNA and Cell biology. The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Ribosomal RNA, DNA, Messenger RNA, Transcription and Intron. His Xenopus study also includes fields such as

  • Internal medicine which intersects with area such as Metamorphosis and Cell type,
  • Cellular differentiation most often made with reference to Endocrinology.

His Gene study contributes to a more complete understanding of Genetics. His RNA research includes elements of genomic DNA and Embryo. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Chromatin and Cell.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (48.68%)
  • Xenopus (42.76%)
  • Gene (30.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2016)?

  • Xenopus (42.76%)
  • Internal medicine (20.39%)
  • Endocrinology (20.39%)

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

Donald D. Brown mainly investigates Xenopus, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Metamorphosis and Hormone. The study incorporates disciplines such as Molecular biology, Cell type, Transgene and Cell biology in addition to Xenopus. His Molecular biology research includes themes of Receptor, Transcription, Gene, Fibroblast and Branched DNA assay.

He interconnects Cell and Cellular differentiation in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. His work deals with themes such as Downregulation and upregulation and Cell division, which intersect with Internal medicine. Donald D. Brown has researched Endocrinology in several fields, including Transdifferentiation, Neuroscience and Endoderm.

Between 1998 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Metamorphosis is inhibited in transgenic Xenopus laevis tadpoles that overexpress type III deiodinase (148 citations)
  • Diverse developmental programs of Xenopus laevis metamorphosis are inhibited by a dominant negative thyroid hormone receptor (143 citations)
  • Asymmetric Growth and Development of the Xenopus laevis Retina during Metamorphosis Is Controlled by Type III Deiodinase (142 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

His main research concerns Xenopus, Metamorphosis, Thyroid, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology and Transgene as well as Xenopus. His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Gene expression profiling, Transcription, Transcriptional regulation, Gene and Fibroblast.

His Metamorphosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Thyroid hormone receptor, Hormone and Developmental biology, Cell biology. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Epithelium and Cell growth. His research investigates the connection with Thyroid and areas like Anterior pituitary which intersect with concerns in DIO2 and Triiodothyronine.
