Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Ian D. Hickson spends much of his time researching Genetics, Helicase, DNA, Molecular biology and RecQ helicase. As part of his studies on Genetics, Ian D. Hickson often connects relevant subjects like Cell biology. His Cell biology study which covers Chromosomal fragile site that intersects with Sister chromatids, Chromatin and Chromosome segregation.

His work in the fields of Bloom syndrome overlaps with other areas such as Premature aging. His work carried out in the field of DNA brings together such families of science as Peptide sequence, Genome, Gene and Phosphorylation. Ian D. Hickson interconnects Base excision repair, AP endonuclease, DNA- lyase, AP site and Biochemistry in the investigation of issues within Molecular biology.

His most cited work include:

  • The Bloom's syndrome helicase suppresses crossing over during homologous recombination (912 citations)
  • RecQ helicases: caretakers of the genome. (604 citations)
  • 53BP1 nuclear bodies form around DNA lesions generated by mitotic transmission of chromosomes under replication stress. (478 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Molecular biology, DNA, Helicase and DNA repair. His work on Genetics deals in particular with DNA replication, Homologous recombination, RecQ helicase, Genome instability and Gene. His Molecular biology research includes themes of Cell culture, Cell, Gene expression, DNA damage and Topoisomerase.

His research in DNA tackles topics such as Cell biology which are related to areas like Chromatin. His study in the field of Bloom syndrome and Topoisomerase III is also linked to topics like Premature aging. His DNA repair research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mutation, Cancer research and Radiosensitivity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (40.20%)

  • DNA (34.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Cell biology (24.92%)
  • Genetics (40.20%)
  • DNA replication (24.92%)

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

Ian D. Hickson focuses on Cell biology, Genetics, DNA replication, DNA and Mitosis. The various areas that Ian D. Hickson examines in his Cell biology study include DNA damage, Genome instability, Helicase, Molecular biology and DNA repair. His Helicase study deals with Spindle apparatus intersecting with Nucleic acid thermodynamics.

The concepts of his DNA replication study are interwoven with issues in Telomere, Replication protein A and DNA synthesis. His work in DNA tackles topics such as Gene which are related to areas like Structure–activity relationship. His studies in Mitosis integrate themes in fields like Cytokinesis, Chromosome segregation, Chromatin, Anaphase and Sister chromatids.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Replication stress activates DNA repair synthesis in mitosis (296 citations)
  • MUS81 promotes common fragile site expression (192 citations)
  • MUS81 promotes common fragile site expression (192 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Ian D. Hickson spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Genetics, Molecular biology, Helicase and Mitosis. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Non-homologous end joining, Genome, DNA, Genome instability and Protein structure. His Molecular biology research incorporates elements of Replication protein A and Chromosome instability.

His study in Helicase is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Holliday junction, DNA repair and Gene expression. His DNA repair research integrates issues from G-quadruplex, DNA damage and Homologous recombination. His Mitosis study incorporates themes from Chromatid, Sister chromatids, Chromosome segregation and Anaphase.
