Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Norman H. Giles spends much of his time researching Neurospora crassa, Genetics, Gene cluster, Molecular biology and Neurospora. The Neurospora crassa study combines topics in areas such as Quinic acid, Plasmid and Escherichia coli. In his study, Chromosome and Biophysics is strongly linked to Tradescantia, which falls under the umbrella field of Genetics.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Transcription and Regulator gene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Strain, Structural gene, Mutant, HeLa and Cell biology in addition to Molecular biology. His work deals with themes such as Mutation, Recombination, Locus and Enzyme, which intersect with Neurospora.

His most cited work include:

  • Efficient transformation of Neurospora crassa by utilizing hybrid plasmid DNA (297 citations)
  • Induced biochemical mutations in Bacillus subtilis. (203 citations)
  • Gene organization and regulation in the qa (quinic acid) gene cluster of Neurospora crassa. (123 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neurospora crassa, Genetics, Gene, Biochemistry and Mutant. His study in Neurospora crassa is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology, Gene cluster, Structural gene and Wild type. His Molecular biology research also works with subjects such as

  • Plasmid which is related to area like Cosmid,
  • Escherichia coli, which have a strong connection to EcoRI.

His Gene cluster research incorporates elements of Quinic acid, Regulation of gene expression, Quinate dehydrogenase and Dehydratase. In his work, Biophysics and Cell biology is strongly intertwined with Tradescantia, which is a subfield of Genetics. His Enzyme, Shikimic acid, Isozyme and Dehydrogenase study, which is part of a larger body of work in Biochemistry, is frequently linked to Euglena gracilis, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neurospora crassa (64.00%)
  • Genetics (56.00%)
  • Gene (35.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1978-1991)?

  • Neurospora crassa (64.00%)
  • Gene (35.00%)
  • Molecular biology (25.00%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neurospora crassa, Gene, Molecular biology, Gene cluster and Genetics. His study in the fields of Neurospora under the domain of Neurospora crassa overlaps with other disciplines such as Molecular cloning. His Neurospora study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as 5S ribosomal RNA and Transfer RNA.

His Molecular biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biochemistry, Escherichia coli, Degradosome, RNA polymerase II and RNA polymerase II holoenzyme. He has included themes like Regulation of gene expression and Quinate dehydrogenase in his Gene cluster study. Norman H. Giles regularly ties together related areas like Quinic acid in his Genetics studies.

Between 1978 and 1991, his most popular works were:

  • Efficient transformation of Neurospora crassa by utilizing hybrid plasmid DNA (297 citations)
  • Gene organization and regulation in the qa (quinic acid) gene cluster of Neurospora crassa. (123 citations)
  • DNA sequence, organization and regulation of the qa gene cluster of Neurospora crassa. (119 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Gene cluster, Neurospora crassa, Gene, Genetics and Regulator gene. His Gene cluster study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plasmid, Molecular biology, Transcription, Repressor and Quinic acid. His research in Plasmid intersects with topics in Mutation, Neurospora, Crassa and Cosmid.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including GAL4/UAS system, Structural gene, Activator, DNA-binding domain and Regulation of gene expression. His study with Gene involves better knowledge in Biochemistry. His research on Genetics focuses in particular on Nucleic acid sequence.
