Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Jerry L. Slightom mainly focuses on Genetics, Gene, Nucleic acid sequence, Molecular biology and Globin. Phylogenetic tree, Structural gene, Genomic library, genomic DNA and Gene family are the core of his Genetics study. As a member of one scientific family, Jerry L. Slightom mostly works in the field of Gene, focusing on DNA and, on occasion, A gamma-Globin.

Many of his studies on Nucleic acid sequence apply to Base pair as well. His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from In vitro, Genetic transfer, Dystrophin and Exon. His Globin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phylogenetic footprinting and Binding site.

His most cited work include:

  • The structure and evolution of the human β-globin gene family (964 citations)
  • Human fetal gγ- and Aγ-globin genes: Complete nucleotide sequences suggest that DNA can be exchanged between these duplicated genes (706 citations)
  • Purification, cloning, expression and biological characterization of an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein (601 citations)

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

Jerry L. Slightom mostly deals with Genetics, Gene, Molecular biology, Nucleic acid sequence and Virology. His study in Globin, Phylogenetic tree, Gene conversion, DNA and Peptide sequence falls within the category of Genetics. His study focuses on the intersection of Phylogenetic tree and fields such as Phylogenetics with connections in the field of Evolutionary biology.

His Gene and Coding region, Regulatory sequence, Phaseolin, Complementary DNA and Genetically modified crops investigations all form part of his Gene research activities. His Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Amino acid, Genetic transfer, RNA, Receptor and Sequence analysis. His Nucleic acid sequence study also includes fields such as

  • Pseudogene which is related to area like Locus,
  • Genomic library that intertwine with fields like genomic DNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (64.52%)
  • Gene (56.45%)
  • Molecular biology (24.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1995-2016)?

  • Gene (56.45%)
  • Genetics (64.52%)
  • Molecular biology (24.19%)

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

Jerry L. Slightom spends much of his time researching Gene, Genetics, Molecular biology, Virology and Receptor. His research in Phylogenetic tree, Gene cluster, genomic DNA, Nucleic acid sequence and Regulatory sequence are components of Gene. His Galago research extends to the thematically linked field of Genetics.

His Molecular biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Complementary DNA, cDNA library, Molecular cloning and RNA. His Virology research includes themes of Plant disease resistance and Inoculation. His Receptor study which covers Cell biology that intersects with Structural gene, Plant cell, Two-hybrid screening, Protein subunit and Homomeric.

Between 1995 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Locus control regions of mammalian β-globin gene clusters: combining phylogenetic analyses and experimental results to gain functional insights (219 citations)
  • Differential Expression of Dystrophin Isoforms in Strains of mdx Mice with Different Mutations (165 citations)
  • Comparison of five methods for finding conserved sequences in multiple alignments of gene regulatory regions (101 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome
