Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

George A. M. Cross spends much of his time researching Trypanosoma brucei, Biochemistry, Gene, Glycoprotein and Genetics. The various areas that George A. M. Cross examines in his Trypanosoma brucei study include In vitro, Protozoa, Microbiology, Pronase and Gel electrophoresis. The Biochemistry study which covers Stereochemistry that intersects with Glycosyl-Phosphatidylinositol and Diglyceride.

His research on Gene often connects related topics like Molecular biology. His Molecular biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nucleic acid sequence, DNA, Complementary DNA, Peptide sequence and Messenger RNA. The study incorporates disciplines such as Myristic acid, Glycosylation, Mannose and Cell membrane in addition to Glycoprotein.

His most cited work include:

  • A tightly regulated inducible expression system for conditional gene knock-outs and dominant-negative genetics in Trypanosoma brucei. (1174 citations)
  • Identification, purification and properties of clone-specific glycoprotein antigens constituting the surface coat of Trypanosoma brucei. (727 citations)
  • GLYCOLIPID ANCHORING OF PLASMA MEMBRANE PROTEINS (445 citations)

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

George A. M. Cross mostly deals with Trypanosoma brucei, Genetics, Gene, Biochemistry and Molecular biology. His Trypanosoma brucei research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in In vitro, Antigenic variation, Glycoprotein, Telomere and Transcription. His Glycoprotein research focuses on subjects like Trypanosoma cruzi, which are linked to Flagellum and Mutant.

His Transcription research integrates issues from Chromatin and Promoter. Glycolipid, Membrane protein, Phospholipase C, Amino acid and Myristic acid are the core of his Biochemistry study. His Molecular biology research includes themes of Nucleic acid sequence, DNA, Gene expression, Recombinant DNA and Peptide sequence.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Trypanosoma brucei (56.74%)
  • Genetics (38.14%)
  • Gene (36.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2016)?

  • Trypanosoma brucei (56.74%)
  • Genetics (38.14%)
  • Antigenic variation (17.67%)

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

George A. M. Cross mainly focuses on Trypanosoma brucei, Genetics, Antigenic variation, Gene and Biochemistry. His Trypanosoma brucei study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Subtelomere, Telomere, Molecular biology, Transcription and DNA replication. His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mitosis, Cell biology and DNA.

His Antigenic variation study incorporates themes from Pseudogene and In vivo. His study in Gene concentrates on Gene expression, Polyadenylation and RNA. George A. M. Cross works mostly in the field of Gene expression, limiting it down to topics relating to Intron and, in certain cases, Coding region.

Between 2005 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Four histone variants mark the boundaries of polycistronic transcription units in Trypanosoma brucei (255 citations)
  • Genome-wide analysis of mRNA abundance in two life-cycle stages of Trypanosoma brucei and identification of splicing and polyadenylation sites (245 citations)
  • A unified phylogeny-based nomenclature for histone variants (226 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Trypanosoma brucei, Antigenic variation, Gene and Histone. His research investigates the connection between Genetics and topics such as Evolutionary biology that intersect with issues in Histone H4, Phylogenetic tree and Clade. George A. M. Cross combines subjects such as Histone H3, Virology, Molecular biology, Glycoprotein and DNA replication with his study of Trypanosoma brucei.

The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Gene conversion, Antibody Diversity, DNA repair and Homologous recombination. His research integrates issues of Negative selection, Minichromosome, Codon usage bias and Pseudogene in his study of Antigenic variation. His Histone study also includes fields such as

  • Chromatin which intersects with area such as Chromatin immunoprecipitation and RNA polymerase I,
  • Epigenetics that connect with fields like Trypanosoma and DNA methylation.
