Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

DNA
Gene
RNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Molecular biology, RNA polymerase, Biochemistry, DNA and Escherichia coli. His Molecular biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bacteriophage, DNA damage, Repressor and DNA repair. His work carried out in the field of RNA polymerase brings together such families of science as RNA polymerase II and Polymerase.

His research integrates issues of Transcription factor II D and General transcription factor in his study of RNA polymerase II. His work in the fields of Escherichia coli, such as Antitermination, intersects with other areas such as Product. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as RNA and Transcription.

His most cited work include:

Termination Factor for RNA Synthesis (658 citations)
Nature of the SOS-inducing signal in Escherichia coli. The involvement of DNA replication. (449 citations)
E. coli recA protein-directed cleavage of phage lambda repressor requires polynucleotide. (283 citations)

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

Jeffrey W. Roberts mostly deals with Molecular biology, RNA polymerase, Transcription, DNA and Genetics. His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Antitermination, Terminator, Bacteriophage, Transcription bubble and Repressor. The study incorporates disciplines such as RNA polymerase II and Polymerase, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in addition to RNA polymerase.

His RNA polymerase II research integrates issues from General transcription factor and Transcription factor II D. His studies in Transcription integrate themes in fields like RNA, Promoter and Cell biology. He has included themes like Translocase, Transcription factor and Escherichia coli in his DNA study.

He most often published in these fields:

Molecular biology (57.14%)
RNA polymerase (54.46%)
Transcription (49.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?

Transcription (49.11%)
RNA polymerase (54.46%)
DNA (33.04%)

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

His primary areas of study are Transcription, RNA polymerase, DNA, Cell biology and Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Polymerase, General transcription factor, Messenger RNA and Ribosome, Polysome. The General transcription factor study combines topics in areas such as RNA polymerase II, Transcription factor II D, RNA polymerase II holoenzyme and Transcription bubble.

His research in RNA polymerase intersects with topics in Promoter, Transcription factor and Molecular biology. Jeffrey W. Roberts works mostly in the field of DNA, limiting it down to topics relating to RNA and, in certain cases, Escherichia coli. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Transcription elongation and Translocase.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

RNA polymerase elongation factors. (88 citations)
High-resolution view of bacteriophage lambda gene expression by ribosome profiling (74 citations)
Prevalence of RNA polymerase stalling at Escherichia coli promoters after open complex formation. (54 citations)
