Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

RNA editing, Guide RNA, Kinetoplast, RNA and Genetics are his primary areas of study. His RNA editing research incorporates elements of Nucleic acid sequence, Trypanosoma brucei and Mitochondrion. He interconnects Minicircle, Molecular biology and Cytochrome c oxidase subunit III in the investigation of issues within Kinetoplast.

The various areas that Larry Simpson examines in his Molecular biology study include Leishmania tarentolae and Cell biology. In his research, Protein secondary structure is intimately related to Nucleotide, which falls under the overarching field of RNA. In Genetics, he works on issues like Computational biology, which are connected to Small RNA.

His most cited work include:

  • A model for RNA editing in kinetoplastid mitochondria: "guide" RNA molecules transcribed from maxicircle DNA provide the edited information. (463 citations)
  • Strains and clones of Trypanosoma cruzi can be characterized by pattern of restriction endonuclease products of kinetoplast DNA minicircles. (285 citations)
  • Sensitive detection and schizodeme classification of Trypanosoma cruzi cells by amplification of kinetoplast minicircle DNA sequences: use in diagnosis of Chagas' disease (259 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in RNA editing, Genetics, Molecular biology, RNA and Guide RNA. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of RNA editing, Transfer RNA is strongly linked to Mitochondrion. His Genetics study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Leishmania.

His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Trypanosoma brucei, Crithidia fasciculata, DNA, Kinetoplast and Nuclear DNA. His work carried out in the field of Kinetoplast brings together such families of science as Leishmania tarentolae, Biophysics and Protozoa. RNA is closely attributed to Peptide sequence in his study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • RNA editing (53.65%)
  • Genetics (43.78%)
  • Molecular biology (41.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?

  • RNA editing (53.65%)
  • RNA (41.20%)
  • Guide RNA (40.77%)

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

Larry Simpson mainly focuses on RNA editing, RNA, Guide RNA, Biochemistry and Trypanosoma brucei. His RNA editing study is related to the wider topic of Genetics. His Genetics study which covers Computational biology that intersects with Mature messenger RNA and Sequence.

His studies in RNA integrate themes in fields like Molecular biology and Conserved sequence. His Molecular biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as RNA silencing and Cell biology. His study in Trypanosoma brucei is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Transferase, Tsetse fly, Peptide sequence, Leishmania and Trypanosoma equiperdum.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Uridine insertion/deletion RNA editing in trypanosome mitochondria: A complex business (146 citations)
  • Isolation of a U‐insertion/deletion editing complex from Leishmania tarentolae mitochondria (127 citations)
  • Mitochondrial proteins and complexes in Leishmania and Trypanosoma involved in U-insertion/deletion RNA editing. (122 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in RNA editing, RNA, Guide RNA, Molecular biology and Intron. Larry Simpson has included themes like Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma in his RNA editing study. His Trypanosoma brucei study is associated with Genetics.

His RNA research entails a greater understanding of Biochemistry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including RNA interference and RNA silencing. His Intron research focuses on RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and how it relates to RNA ligase.
