Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Molecular biology, DNA, Gene and Biochemistry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Bacteriophage, Escherichia coli, Plasmid, Restriction map and Galactose. His research on DNA frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Cellulose.

His work on Protein biosynthesis, Phosphorus Isotopes and Enzyme as part of general Biochemistry study is frequently linked to Tritium, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His studies deal with areas such as Genome, Horizontal gene transfer, Mobile genetic elements and Genetic transfer as well as Intron. His studies examine the connections between Meiosis and genetics, as well as such issues in Phylum, with regards to Zoology, Asexual reproduction and Bdelloidea.

His most cited work include:

  • The replication of DNA in Escherichia coli (837 citations)
  • The Sverdlovsk anthrax outbreak of 1979 (746 citations)
  • An Unstable Intermediate Carrying Information from Genes to Ribosomes for Protein Synthesis (690 citations)

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

Matthew Meselson spends much of his time researching Genetics, DNA, Molecular biology, Gene and Bdelloidea. His study in Meiosis, Genome, Chromosome, Drosophila melanogaster and Intron falls under the purview of Genetics. His Meiosis research focuses on subjects like Phylogenetics, which are linked to Allele.

He has included themes like Bacteriophage, Escherichia coli and Genetic recombination in his DNA study. His work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as Base pair, Transcription and Cell biology. His Bdelloidea research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Retrotransposon, Asexual reproduction and Sexual reproduction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (52.05%)
  • DNA (22.60%)
  • Molecular biology (20.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?

  • Genetics (52.05%)
  • Bdelloidea (21.92%)
  • Meiosis (17.12%)

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

Matthew Meselson focuses on Genetics, Bdelloidea, Meiosis, Genome and Sexual reproduction. His works in Gene, Chromosome, Allele, Horizontal gene transfer and Genetic observations are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. His research in Horizontal gene transfer intersects with topics in Genetic transfer, Gene expression, Intron and Mobile genetic elements.

He frequently studies issues relating to Asexual reproduction and Bdelloidea. His work is dedicated to discovering how Meiosis, Clade are connected with Low copy number and Retrotransposon and other disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology and Population genetics in addition to Sexual reproduction.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Massive Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bdelloid Rotifers (352 citations)
  • Massive Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bdelloid Rotifers (352 citations)
  • Extreme resistance of bdelloid rotifers to ionizing radiation (178 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

His main research concerns Genetics, Gene, Asexual reproduction, Bdelloidea and Gene expression. Matthew Meselson regularly ties together related areas like Cell biology in his Genetics studies. His research brings together the fields of Sexual reproduction and Gene.

His Asexual reproduction research incorporates themes from Deinococcus radiodurans, Zoology and Desiccation. His Bdelloidea research incorporates elements of Obligate and Cryptobiosis. Matthew Meselson combines subjects such as Genome, Horizontal gene transfer and Mobile genetic elements with his study of Gene expression.
