Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • DNA
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Kirsten Skarstad mainly investigates DnaA, DNA replication, DNA, Molecular biology and SeqA protein domain. The subject of her DnaA research is within the realm of Genetics. Her work in DNA replication addresses issues such as dnaB helicase, which are connected to fields such as Base pair and HU Protein.

Kirsten Skarstad studies DNA, namely Replication Initiation. Her Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell cycle, DNA-binding protein and Escherichia coli. Her SeqA protein domain research also works with subjects such as

  • Cell biology which connect with DNA replication initiation,
  • Origin recognition complex which intersects with area such as Control of chromosome duplication.

Her most cited work include:

  • Timing of initiation of chromosome replication in individual Escherichia coli cells. (322 citations)
  • The DnaA protein determines the initiation mass of Escherichia coli K-12. (264 citations)
  • Regulating DNA Replication in Bacteria (262 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are DNA replication, SeqA protein domain, DNA, DnaA and Genetics. Her work carried out in the field of DNA replication brings together such families of science as Cell cycle, Mutant, Molecular biology and Cell biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Replication factor C and Binding site in addition to SeqA protein domain.

Her research integrates issues of Cell and Gene, Escherichia coli in her study of DNA. Kirsten Skarstad has researched DnaA in several fields, including Pre-replication complex, Replication Initiation and dnaB helicase. In general Genetics, her work in Chromosome, Chromosome replication and SOS response is often linked to ChIP-on-chip linking many areas of study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • DNA replication (59.38%)
  • SeqA protein domain (45.83%)
  • DNA (45.83%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • DNA replication (59.38%)
  • Cell biology (40.63%)
  • DNA (45.83%)

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

Kirsten Skarstad mainly investigates DNA replication, Cell biology, DNA, Cell cycle and SeqA protein domain. Origin recognition complex, DnaA and Pre-replication complex are the core of her DNA replication study. Her Origin recognition complex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plasmid and Cell division.

Her research brings together the fields of Molecular biology and DnaA. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Nucleoid, Mutant, Gene, Escherichia coli and Replisome. Genetics covers Kirsten Skarstad research in DNA.

Between 2011 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Regulating DNA Replication in Bacteria (262 citations)
  • Replication fork movement and methylation govern SeqA binding to the Escherichia coli chromosome (45 citations)
  • An easy-to-use simulation program demonstrates variations in bacterial cell cycle parameters depending on medium and temperature. (43 citations)

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

  • DNA
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Her scientific interests lie mostly in DNA replication, Cell cycle, DNA, Genetics and Nucleoid. Her work in Pre-replication complex, DnaA and Origin recognition complex is related to DNA replication. She combines subjects such as Chromosome, Flow cytometry and DNA-binding protein with her study of Cell cycle.

When carried out as part of a general DNA research project, her work on SOS response is frequently linked to work in Dna compaction, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Her study in the field of Escherichia coli also crosses realms of Simulation software. Her Nucleoid course of study focuses on Cell membrane and Cell biology.
