Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Karl Ekwall mainly focuses on Genetics, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Heterochromatin, Nucleosome and Centromere. His studies in Gene, Heterochromatin assembly, Histone, Histone code and Chromatin are all subfields of Genetics research. His research investigates the connection between Histone and topics such as Regulation of gene expression that intersect with issues in Chromatin immunoprecipitation.

His work carried out in the field of Schizosaccharomyces pombe brings together such families of science as Histone deacetylase, Molecular biology and Genome. His Genome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Yeast. His research integrates issues of Histone H3 and RNA interference, RNA-induced transcriptional silencing in his study of Heterochromatin.

His most cited work include:

  • A promoter-level mammalian expression atlas (1307 citations)
  • Mutations derepressing silent centromeric domains in fission yeast disrupt chromosome segregation. (403 citations)
  • Comparative functional genomics of the fission yeasts (374 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Cell biology, Chromatin, Histone and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. His work in Heterochromatin, Centromere, Nucleosome, Histone code and Gene are all subfields of Genetics research. His research on Cell biology also deals with topics like

  • Transcription which connect with RNA polymerase II,
  • Yeast which is related to area like Functional genomics.

His Chromatin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Regulation of gene expression and Computational biology. His work deals with themes such as Molecular biology, Cancer research and Acetylation, which intersect with Histone. The various areas that Karl Ekwall examines in his Schizosaccharomyces pombe study include Genome and Mating type.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (59.60%)
  • Cell biology (36.42%)
  • Chromatin (34.44%)

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

  • Chromatin (34.44%)
  • Cell biology (36.42%)
  • Genetics (59.60%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Chromatin, Cell biology, Genetics, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Nucleosome. His studies deal with areas such as Histone, Computational biology, Transcription and Genome as well as Chromatin. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Cyclin-dependent kinase, Gene expression, Gene and Cohesin.

Chromatin remodeling, Histone code, Protein subunit, In vitro and Progenitor cell are the subjects of his Genetics studies. He interconnects Histone methyltransferase and Histone H1 in the investigation of issues within Histone code. His study of Schizosaccharomyces is a part of Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Epigenetic Regulation of Chromatin States in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (117 citations)
  • FANTOM5 CAGE profiles of human and mouse samples (82 citations)
  • The Fun30 chromatin remodeler Fft3 controls nuclear organization and chromatin structure of insulators and subtelomeres in fission yeast. (44 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

His main research concerns Chromatin, Genetics, Nucleosome, Chromatin remodeling and Histone code. His Chromatin research incorporates elements of Enhancer, Histone, DNA methylation and Cancer research. His Nucleosome research integrates issues from Fungal genetics and Cell biology.

His research in Histone code intersects with topics in Heterochromatin, Heterochromatin protein 1, Histone methyltransferase and Histone H1. Karl Ekwall usually deals with Heterochromatin protein 1 and limits it to topics linked to Schizosaccharomyces and Heterochromatin assembly. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Regulation of gene expression, Genome, Computational biology and Cap analysis gene expression.
