Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, RNA interference, Cell biology, Argonaute and RasiRNA. His works in Gene, microRNA, Small RNA, RNA and Genome are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. His RNA interference study incorporates themes from Molecular biology, Gene silencing and Small hairpin RNA.

Gregory J. Hannon has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Cyclin-dependent kinase, Cell cycle, Cell cycle checkpoint and Cellular differentiation. His Argonaute study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Small nucleolar RNA and Dicer. The various areas that he examines in his RasiRNA study include RDE-1 and Piwi-interacting RNA.

His most cited work include:

  • MicroRNAs: small RNAs with a big role in gene regulation (5214 citations)
  • Role for a bidentate ribonuclease in the initiation step of RNA interference (4315 citations)
  • Landscape of transcription in human cells (3260 citations)
