Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study Nancy Kleckner is best known for:

Gene
DNA
Genome

Nancy Kleckner performs integrative study on Gene and Homologous recombination in her works. Nancy Kleckner combines Homologous recombination and Chromosomal crossover in her studies. In her works, she performs multidisciplinary study on Chromosomal crossover and Genetic recombination. She performs multidisciplinary study in Genetic recombination and Homologous chromosome in her work. In her works, Nancy Kleckner undertakes multidisciplinary study on Homologous chromosome and Chromosome segregation. Nancy Kleckner combines Chromosome segregation and Mitosis in her research. Mitosis and Prophase are two areas of study in which she engages in interdisciplinary work. With her scientific publications, her incorporates both Prophase and Chromatin. Nancy Kleckner performs integrative Chromatin and Chromosome research in her work.

Meiotic Chromosomes: Integrating Structure and Function (1147 citations)
New Tn10 derivatives for transposon mutagenesis and for construction of lacZ operon fusions by transposition (605 citations)

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

Her Linguistics research focuses on Transposition (logic) and how it relates to Artificial intelligence. Her Artificial intelligence study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Transposition (logic). Nancy Kleckner carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Genetics and Computational biology. In her works, Nancy Kleckner conducts interdisciplinary research on Gene and Biochemistry. She performs multidisciplinary studies into Biochemistry and Gene in her work. She frequently studies issues relating to DNA Transposable Elements and Transposable element. Her Transposable element research extends to the thematically linked field of DNA Transposable Elements. Nancy Kleckner undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Genome and Plasmid through her works. In her research, Nancy Kleckner undertakes multidisciplinary study on Plasmid and Genome.

Nancy Kleckner most often published in these fields:

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 1999-2008)?

Genetics (100.00%)
Cell biology (100.00%)
Chromosome (66.67%)

In recent works Nancy Kleckner was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her study ties her expertise on Cytoskeleton together with the subject of Genetics. Much of her study explores Cytoskeleton relationship to Actin cytoskeleton. Her work on Actin cytoskeleton is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Cell. While working on this project, Nancy Kleckner studies both Cell and Gene. She connects Gene with Cell biology in her research. Her study brings together the fields of Actin and Cell biology. As part of her studies on Actin, she often connects relevant subjects like Genetics. She applies her multidisciplinary studies on Chromosome and Telomere in her research. She incorporates Telomere and Chromosome in her research.

Between 1999 and 2008, her most popular works were:

Meiotic Chromosomes Move by Linkage to Dynamic Actin Cables with Transduction of Force through the Nuclear Envelope (183 citations)
Progression of meiotic DNA replication is modulated by interchromosomal interaction proteins, negatively by Spo11p and positively by Rec8p (169 citations)
Tn10 transpososome assembly involves a folded intermediate that must be unfolded for target capture and strand transfer (26 citations)
