Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast, Genetics and Glycogen. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a subfield of Gene that Jean Marie François tackles. Jean Marie François combines subjects such as Ethanol, Fermentation, Nicotinamidase, Viability assay and Chromatography with his study of Yeast.

His study in the fields of Alpha factor and Interaction network under the domain of Genetics overlaps with other disciplines such as Function, Distributed algorithm and Belief propagation. His Glycogen research incorporates elements of Complementation and Galactose. His studies deal with areas such as Reference genes, Housekeeping gene, Gene expression, Gene expression profiling and Regulation of gene expression as well as Fungal genetics.

His most cited work include:

  • An interlaboratory comparison of physiological and genetic properties of four Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. (462 citations)
  • Reserve carbohydrates metabolism in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (452 citations)
  • Validation of reference genes for quantitative expression analysis by real-time RT-PCR in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (335 citations)

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

Biochemistry, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast, Gene and Trehalose are his primary areas of study. His Saccharomyces cerevisiae research is classified as research in Genetics. His research investigates the connection between Yeast and topics such as Microbiology that intersect with issues in Virulence.

His Gene research includes themes of Molecular biology and Penicillium funiculosum. His Mutant research incorporates themes from Cobalt and Intracellular. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mannan and Polysaccharide in addition to Cell wall.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (90.84%)
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae (83.97%)
  • Yeast (56.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (90.84%)
  • Yeast (56.11%)
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae (83.97%)

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

Jean Marie François mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Metabolic engineering and Cell wall. When carried out as part of a general Yeast research project, his work on Rhodotorula mucilaginosa is frequently linked to work in Cysteine biosynthetic process, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Gene covers he research in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Gene is a subfield of Genetics that Jean Marie François explores. His Metabolic engineering research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glyoxylate cycle, Ethylene glycol, Synthetic biology, Pentose and Biofuel. The concepts of his Cell wall study are interwoven with issues in Concanavalin A, Cell and Biophysics.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tracking the best reference genes for RT-qPCR data normalization in filamentous fungi (44 citations)
  • Tracking the best reference genes for RT-qPCR data normalization in filamentous fungi (44 citations)
  • Tracking the best reference genes for RT-qPCR data normalization in filamentous fungi (44 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Jean Marie François focuses on Biochemistry, Yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Metabolic engineering and Cell wall. Many of his studies on Biochemistry apply to Rational design as well. His study looks at the intersection of Yeast and topics like Botany with Sequence analysis, Gas chromatography and Flavor.

His work carried out in the field of Saccharomyces cerevisiae brings together such families of science as Ethanol and Membrane, Cell membrane. His Metabolic engineering study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as N-Propanol, Propanol, Biofuel and Chemical engineering. His Cell wall course of study focuses on Biophysics and Transport protein, Cell and Membrane fluidity.
