Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Geraldine Butler spends much of her time researching Genetics, Gene, Candida albicans, Genome and Transcription factor. Her Genetics and Comparative genomics and Saccharomyces cerevisiae investigations all form part of her Genetics research activities. Her work on Gene deals in particular with Locus and Saccharomyces.

Geraldine Butler interconnects Fungal protein and Yeast in the investigation of issues within Candida albicans. Her Genome study incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology and Saccharomycotina. Her Transcription factor research includes elements of Promoter and Regulation of gene expression.

Her most cited work include:

  • Evolution of pathogenicity and sexual reproduction in eight Candida genomes (781 citations)
  • A fungal phylogeny based on 42 complete genomes derived from supertree and combined gene analysis (431 citations)
  • Evolution of the MAT locus and its Ho endonuclease in yeast species (206 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Gene, Candida parapsilosis, Microbiology and Candida albicans. Her research investigates the connection between Gene and topics such as Molecular biology that intersect with problems in Promoter. Her Candida parapsilosis study also includes

  • Synteny most often made with reference to Candida tropicalis,
  • Nourseothricin which is related to area like Guide RNA.

Her work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Posaconazole, Fungal protein, Virulence and Biofilm. Her Candida albicans research integrates issues from Transcription factor, Ergosterol and Hyphal growth. Geraldine Butler has researched Locus in several fields, including Mating type and Sexual reproduction.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (44.44%)
  • Gene (37.30%)
  • Candida parapsilosis (30.16%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Genetics (44.44%)
  • Candida parapsilosis (30.16%)
  • Gene (37.30%)

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

Her main research concerns Genetics, Candida parapsilosis, Gene, Genome and Candida albicans. Her Candida parapsilosis research incorporates themes from Mutant, Candida tropicalis, Centromere, Antifungal drug and DNA sequencing. Her studies in Genome integrate themes in fields like Computational biology and Ribosomal DNA.

To a larger extent, Geraldine Butler studies Microbiology with the aim of understanding Candida albicans. Her studies deal with areas such as Mycobiota, Posaconazole and Transplantation as well as Microbiology. Her Corpus albicans research focuses on subjects like Transcriptome, which are linked to Virulence factor and Transcription factor.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Candida parapsilosis: from Genes to the Bedside. (63 citations)
  • High-resolution mycobiota analysis reveals dynamic intestinal translocation preceding invasive candidiasis (37 citations)
  • Identification of fungi in shotgun metagenomics datasets. (36 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Her primary areas of study are Genetics, Gene, Candida parapsilosis, Candida glabrata and Candida albicans. Her Gene research incorporates elements of Transplantation and Microbiology. Her study in the field of Multiple drug resistance is also linked to topics like Population.

Her study in Candida parapsilosis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plasmid, Genome editing, Cas9, CRISPR and Combinatorial chemistry. Her Candida glabrata research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vaginal candidiasis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Proteins, Fungal protein and Bioinformatics. Candida albicans and Drug resistance are commonly linked in her work.
