Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • RNA

Molecular biology, RNA, Cell biology, RNA splicing and Ribonucleoprotein are her primary areas of study. Her Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in snRNP, Antigen and Messenger RNA, RNA-binding protein, Untranslated region. Her work in RNA addresses issues such as Ribosomal RNA, which are connected to fields such as Ribosome and Complementary DNA.

Her Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Translation and Xenopus, Gene expression, Gene. Her work carried out in the field of RNA splicing brings together such families of science as Intron and Exon. Her studies deal with areas such as Base pair, Transcription, Binding site and Virology as well as Ribonucleoprotein.

Her most cited work include:

  • Switching from repression to activation: microRNAs can up-regulate translation. (2231 citations)
  • The noncoding RNA revolution-trashing old rules to forge new ones. (1367 citations)
  • Are snRNPs involved in splicing (976 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include RNA, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Genetics and RNA splicing. Her biological study deals with issues like Binding site, which deal with fields such as Plasma protein binding. Her research in Molecular biology intersects with topics in Ribonucleoprotein, Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein, snRNP and Messenger RNA, RNA-binding protein.

Her Ribonucleoprotein study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as RNA polymerase III and Cell nucleus. The Cell biology study which covers microRNA that intersects with Argonaute and Gene knockdown. Her work carried out in the field of RNA splicing brings together such families of science as Intron and Exon.

She most often published in these fields:

  • RNA (56.51%)
  • Molecular biology (50.59%)
  • Cell biology (40.53%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • RNA (56.51%)
  • Cell biology (40.53%)
  • Genetics (24.26%)

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

Joan A. Steitz mainly focuses on RNA, Cell biology, Genetics, microRNA and Gene. Her study in RNA is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Chromatin, DNA and Messenger RNA. Her work in Messenger RNA covers topics such as RNA splicing which are related to areas like Exon.

Her work deals with themes such as Drosha, Gene expression, Molecular biology, Small nuclear RNA and RNA polymerase II, which intersect with Cell biology. The various areas that Joan A. Steitz examines in her Molecular biology study include Poly-binding protein, RNA-binding protein, Microprocessor complex, Transfection and Alternative splicing. Joan A. Steitz has included themes like Small nucleolar RNA and Virology in her Intron study.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The noncoding RNA revolution-trashing old rules to forge new ones. (1367 citations)
  • EBV and human microRNAs co-target oncogenic and apoptotic viral and human genes during latency (236 citations)
  • Formation of triple-helical structures by the 3′-end sequences of MALAT1 and MENβ noncoding RNAs (180 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • RNA

Joan A. Steitz focuses on RNA, Non-coding RNA, Genetics, Molecular biology and Cell biology. Her RNA research integrates issues from Genome, Gene isoform and Triple helix. Her study explores the link between Non-coding RNA and topics such as Viral replication that cross with problems in Gene Knockdown Techniques, Transcription factor and Viral evolution.

Her Molecular biology study which covers RNA-binding protein that intersects with Untranslated region and RNA splicing. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Mutant, Transfection, Argonaute, Endogeny and Microprocessor complex. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of RNA silencing, Small nuclear RNA is strongly linked to Intron.
