Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Gerd A. Blobel mostly deals with Genetics, Transcription factor, Chromatin, Molecular biology and Enhancer. His Genetics study often links to related topics such as Cell biology. His Transcription factor research incorporates elements of Regulation of gene expression, Histone and Cellular differentiation.

His Chromatin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Promoter, Transcription and Chromatin Loop. The various areas that Gerd A. Blobel examines in his Molecular biology study include Histone H4, Pioneer factor and Zinc finger. Plasma protein binding, Protein subunit, Chaperone, Inclusion bodies and Heterotetramer is closely connected to Globin in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Enhancer.

His most cited work include:

  • A comparative encyclopedia of DNA elements in the mouse genome (1022 citations)
  • Activating RNAs associate with Mediator to enhance chromatin architecture and transcription (604 citations)
  • Histone H3 Lysine 9 Methylation and HP1γ Are Associated with Transcription Elongation through Mammalian Chromatin (598 citations)

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

Gerd A. Blobel mainly investigates Chromatin, Transcription factor, Cell biology, Genetics and Molecular biology. His study in Chromatin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mitosis, Enhancer, Transcription, Regulation of gene expression and Computational biology. His work carried out in the field of Transcription brings together such families of science as RNA polymerase II and BRD4.

His Transcription factor research integrates issues from Chromatin immunoprecipitation, Histone, Gene expression and Cancer research. Gerd A. Blobel has included themes like Fetal hemoglobin, Mi-2/NuRD complex, Transcriptional regulation, Repressor and Binding site in his Cell biology study. His Molecular biology study also includes fields such as

  • Chromosome conformation capture most often made with reference to Promoter,
  • Cellular differentiation and related Erythroid-Specific DNA-Binding Factors.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Chromatin (70.04%)
  • Transcription factor (62.17%)
  • Cell biology (55.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cell biology (55.81%)
  • Chromatin (70.04%)
  • Fetal hemoglobin (19.85%)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Chromatin, Fetal hemoglobin, Gene and Computational biology. His Cell biology research includes themes of Mi-2/NuRD complex, Transcription, Transcriptional regulation and BRD4. His Chromatin study combines topics in areas such as Regulation of gene expression, CTCF and Mitosis.

His Fetal hemoglobin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell, Hemoglobin, Globin and Transcription factor, Repressor. His research integrates issues of Cancer research and DNA in his study of Transcription factor. His work in Computational biology tackles topics such as Genome which are related to areas like Gene regulatory network and Chromatin Loop.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transcriptional Burst Initiation and Polymerase Pause Release Are Key Control Points of Transcriptional Regulation. (54 citations)
  • Transcriptional Burst Initiation and Polymerase Pause Release Are Key Control Points of Transcriptional Regulation. (54 citations)
  • Chromatin structure dynamics during the mitosis-to-G1 phase transition (46 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Gerd A. Blobel spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Transcription, Chromatin, Computational biology and Gene. He interconnects Enhancer, Fetal hemoglobin, Polymerase and Repressor in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. His study in Fetal hemoglobin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gene silencing, Transcription factor, ATF4 and Signal transduction.

His research brings together the fields of Regulation of gene expression and Chromatin. The Regulation of gene expression study combines topics in areas such as CTCF and Cohesin. In his study, DNA, Chromatin Loop and Human genetics is inextricably linked to Genome, which falls within the broad field of Computational biology.
