Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Neurospora, Mutant, Bacteria and Gene. His Neurospora research entails a greater understanding of Neurospora crassa. His Mutant study which covers DNA that intersects with Meiosis and Dermatologic agents.

His work in the fields of Gene, such as One gene-one enzyme hypothesis, intersects with other areas such as Simple and Control. He incorporates Growth factor and Biochemistry in his research. His study in the field of DNA synthesis, DNA replication and Sodium azide is also linked to topics like Vaccinia.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic Control of Biochemical Reactions in Neurospora (929 citations)
  • Effect of actinomycin D on cellular nucleic acid synthesis and virus production. (478 citations)
  • NEUROSPORA. II. METHODS OF PRODUCING AND DETECTING MUTATIONS CONCERNED WITH NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS (457 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Neurospora, Genetics, Mutant and Neurospora crassa. His Bacteria research extends to Biochemistry, which is thematically connected. His Neurospora research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Wild type, Crassa and Sorbose.

His study on Mutant also encompasses disciplines like

  • Tyrosine together with Phenylalanine,
  • Nucleic acid and Mitomycin C most often made with reference to Molecular biology. Edward L. Tatum has researched Neurospora crassa in several fields, including Hypha, Morphology, Dehydrogenase, Mutant strain and Cell wall. His Escherichia coli research is multidisciplinary, relying on both RNA and Microbiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (58.72%)
  • Neurospora (39.45%)
  • Genetics (22.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1965-1976)?

  • Neurospora (39.45%)
  • Neurospora crassa (20.18%)
  • Biochemistry (58.72%)

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

Edward L. Tatum mainly investigates Neurospora, Neurospora crassa, Biochemistry, Genetics and Mutation. His Neurospora research is included under the broader classification of Mutant. His Mutant study incorporates themes from Phosphoglucomutase, Meiosis and DNA.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Neurospora crassa, Yield is strongly linked to Dehydrogenase. Borrowing concepts from Non-Mendelian inheritance, Edward L. Tatum weaves in ideas under Genetics. His research investigates the connection with Mutation and areas like Gene which intersect with concerns in Morphology.

Between 1965 and 1976, his most popular works were:

  • Molecular biology, nucleic acids, and the future of medicine. (82 citations)
  • Non-Mendelian Inheritance of DNA-Induced Inositol Independence in Neurospora (80 citations)
  • A SURVEY OF NEW MORPHOLOGICAL MUTANTS IN NEUROSPORA CRASSA (75 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Edward L. Tatum spends much of his time researching Neurospora, Genetics, Neurospora crassa, Mutation and Mutant. His Neurospora study contributes to a more complete understanding of Biochemistry. His Neurospora crassa research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell wall, Polymer and Microscopy.

His Mutation research incorporates elements of Phenotype, Gene, Primary, Hexosephosphates and Glucosephosphate dehydrogenase. His Mutant study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Meiosis and DNA.
