Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • DNA
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in RNA, Biochemistry, DNA, Ribozyme and Nucleic acid. His RNA study is concerned with the larger field of Genetics. Gerald F. Joyce regularly links together related areas like RNA Cleavage in his DNA studies.

His study in Ribozyme is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both RNA splicing, Biophysics and Stereochemistry. His work in Nucleic acid addresses subjects such as Nucleic acid structure, which are connected to disciplines such as Xenobiology and Nucleic acid methods. His Enzyme research includes themes of Cleavage and Oligonucleotide.

His most cited work include:

  • A General Purpose RNA-Cleaving DNA Enzyme (1176 citations)
  • Randomization of genes by PCR mutagenesis. (1037 citations)
  • Selection in vitro of an RNA enzyme that specifically cleaves single-stranded DNA (1015 citations)

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

Gerald F. Joyce mainly focuses on RNA, Biochemistry, Ribozyme, DNA and Nucleic acid. His RNA study incorporates themes from Molecular biology, Polymerase and Computational biology. His work on Enzyme, Oligonucleotide, Base pair and RNA Cleavage as part of his general Biochemistry study is frequently connected to Exponential growth, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Stereochemistry and Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment in addition to Ribozyme. His DNA research focuses on subjects like Molecule, which are linked to Amidase. His studies examine the connections between Nucleic acid and genetics, as well as such issues in Nucleic acid structure, with regards to Nucleic acid thermodynamics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • RNA (54.14%)
  • Biochemistry (38.67%)
  • Ribozyme (33.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • RNA (54.14%)
  • Ribozyme (33.15%)
  • Biochemistry (38.67%)

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

Gerald F. Joyce mostly deals with RNA, Ribozyme, Biochemistry, Polymerase and Genetics. His study in RNA is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nucleic acid, Aptamer, DNA, Enzyme and Computational biology. Gerald F. Joyce has researched Ribozyme in several fields, including RNA editing, Stereochemistry, Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment and Virology.

His work in the fields of Oligonucleotide and Nuclease protection assay overlaps with other areas such as Exponential growth. His Polymerase research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Reverse transcriptase and Laminar flow. The various areas that he examines in his Genetics study include Evolutionary biology, Bit and Selection.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Self-Sustained Replication of an RNA Enzyme (469 citations)
  • The Origins of the RNA World (277 citations)
  • A cross-chiral RNA polymerase ribozyme. (108 citations)

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

  • DNA
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Gerald F. Joyce focuses on RNA, Biochemistry, Genetics, Enzyme and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. His RNA research integrates issues from Computational biology, Abiogenesis and Compartment. Gerald F. Joyce focuses mostly in the field of Genetics, narrowing it down to topics relating to Evolutionary biology and, in certain cases, Selection, RNA world hypothesis, DNA and Differential survival.

His Enzyme study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Directed evolution and Oligonucleotide. His studies in RNA-dependent RNA polymerase integrate themes in fields like RNA editing and Ligase ribozyme, Ribozyme. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including RNA polymerase I, Hairpin ribozyme, Polymerase and VS ribozyme.
