Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Gene, Genetics, Microbiology, Locus and Inbred strain. His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mycobacterium bovis, Serology, Parasitemia and Virology. His Molecular biology research extends to Genetics, which is thematically connected.

His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Mononuclear phagocyte system, Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria, Tuberculosis and In vivo. His study focuses on the intersection of Locus and fields such as Allele with connections in the field of Immunology. His Inbred strain study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Congenic, Strain, Malaria, Immunity and Host.

His most cited work include:

  • Natural resistance to infection with intracellular parasites: isolation of a candidate for Bcg. (978 citations)
  • The Ity/Lsh/Bcg locus: natural resistance to infection with intracellular parasites is abrogated by disruption of the Nramp1 gene. (536 citations)
  • Genetic regulation of resistance to intracellular pathogens (317 citations)

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

Emil Skamene mainly focuses on Gene, Genetics, Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular biology. His study in Locus, Allele, Congenic, Gene mapping and Inbred strain falls under the purview of Genetics. The various areas that he examines in his Locus study include Genetic marker and Genetic linkage.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Congenic, Ratón are connected with Lung and other disciplines. Emil Skamene has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Mycobacterium bovis, Virology, Listeria monocytogenes, Spleen and Macrophage. His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Chromosomal region and Messenger RNA, Northern blot.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gene (39.24%)
  • Genetics (39.24%)
  • Microbiology (29.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2015)?

  • Genetics (39.24%)
  • Congenic (20.89%)
  • Gene (39.24%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Congenic, Gene, Immunology and Locus. His Leprosy research extends to the thematically linked field of Genetics. His Congenic research includes themes of Phenotype, Genome, Quantitative trait locus, Inbred strain and Candidate gene.

His research integrates issues of Macrophage and Toxoplasma gondii in his study of Gene. Emil Skamene focuses mostly in the field of Macrophage, narrowing it down to topics relating to Mycobacterium bovis and, in certain cases, Molecular biology. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Immunology, focusing on Virology and, on occasion, SLC11A1 and Bacterial clearance.

Between 1998 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Type I IFN Triggers RIG-I/TLR3/NLRP3-dependent Inflammasome Activation in Influenza A Virus Infected Cells (140 citations)
  • Cloning and characterization of the murine toll-like receptor 5 (Tlr5) gene: sequence and mRNA expression studies in Salmonella-susceptible MOLF/Ei mice. (135 citations)
  • Recombinant congenic strains derived from A/J and C57BL/6J: a tool for genetic dissection of complex traits. (111 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Immune system

Emil Skamene focuses on Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Congenic, Inbred strain and Locus. His work on Genetics deals in particular with Signal peptide, Homology, Transmembrane domain, Receptor and Transmembrane protein. His Quantitative trait locus study combines topics in areas such as Startle response and Candidate gene.

The Candidate gene study combines topics in areas such as Genetic variability, Genetic linkage and Parasitemia, Plasmodium chabaudi. The concepts of his Inbred strain study are interwoven with issues in Genetic marker, Microsatellite, Genome and Gene mapping.
