Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Mutation

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Enhancer, Gene, Genome and Human genome. Genetics and Apolipoprotein B are commonly linked in his work. His Enhancer research incorporates themes from Regulation of gene expression, Reporter gene and Conserved sequence.

Len A. Pennacchio combines subjects such as Computational biology and Binding site with his study of Gene. His Genome study incorporates themes from Homeobox and Hox gene. His Human genome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Disease and Genomics.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic variation in PNPLA3 confers susceptibility to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (1951 citations)
  • Genetic variation in PNPLA3 confers susceptibility to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (1951 citations)
  • ChIP-seq accurately predicts tissue-specific activity of enhancers (1335 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Gene, Enhancer, Computational biology and Regulation of gene expression. Genetics is a component of his Human genome, Allele, Transgene, Regulatory sequence and Mutation studies. His studies in Allele integrate themes in fields like Internal medicine, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association and Genetic variation.

The various areas that Len A. Pennacchio examines in his Enhancer study include Chromatin, Epigenomics, Conserved sequence and Cell biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genome, Genomics, Function, Sequence and DNA sequencing. Len A. Pennacchio has included themes like Enhancer RNAs, Histone and Gene expression profiling in his Regulation of gene expression study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (93.85%)
  • Gene (68.16%)
  • Enhancer (75.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Enhancer (75.42%)
  • Gene (68.16%)
  • Transcription factor (26.26%)

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

Len A. Pennacchio mostly deals with Enhancer, Gene, Transcription factor, Chromatin and Cell biology. Len A. Pennacchio studied Enhancer and Histone that intersect with Epigenome. His Gene research entails a greater understanding of Genetics.

His Transcription factor research includes themes of Gene knockout, Epigenomics, Penetrance and Cardiac neural crest cells. His Chromatin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sinoatrial node, Gene expression, DNA methylation and Computational biology. Len A. Pennacchio has researched Computational biology in several fields, including ENCODE, Epigenetics and Genome.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Expanded encyclopaedias of DNA elements in the human and mouse genomes (141 citations)
  • Expanded encyclopaedias of DNA elements in the human and mouse genomes (141 citations)
  • An atlas of dynamic chromatin landscapes in mouse fetal development. (37 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Mutation

His primary areas of investigation include Enhancer, Chromatin, Computational biology, Regulation of gene expression and Gene. His Enhancer research includes elements of Mutation, Sonic hedgehog, Reporter gene, Cell biology and Genome editing. In his study, Methylation, Genomics and Functional genomics is strongly linked to DNA methylation, which falls under the umbrella field of Chromatin.

The Computational biology study combines topics in areas such as Transcription factor, Epigenomics, ENCODE and Promoter. His study looks at the relationship between Regulation of gene expression and fields such as Histone, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His biological study focuses on CRISPR.
