Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
Genetics
Chromosome

Genetics, Meiosis, Arabidopsis, Synapsis and Chromosomal crossover are his primary areas of study. His work on Genetics deals in particular with Homologous chromosome, Interference, Anaphase, Ploidy and Chromatid. His Homologous chromosome research incorporates themes from Establishment of sister chromatid cohesion and Cohesin.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Wild type, FANCM, Sgs1 and Genetic screen. The concepts of his Meiosis study are interwoven with issues in Egg cell, Embryo, Cell biology and Mutant. His Arabidopsis research incorporates elements of Arabidopsis thaliana and Homologous recombination.

His most cited work include:

Turning meiosis into mitosis. (235 citations)
The molecular biology of meiosis in plants. (234 citations)
AtREC8 and AtSCC3 are essential to the monopolar orientation of the kinetochores during meiosis (200 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Meiosis, Homologous recombination, Arabidopsis and Cell biology. Genetics is a component of his Chromosomal crossover, Mutant, Gene, FANCM and Genetic recombination studies. He studies Synapsis which is a part of Meiosis.

Raphael Mercier has researched Homologous recombination in several fields, including Mutagenesis, Gene mapping and Plant breeding. His Arabidopsis study which covers Saccharomyces cerevisiae that intersects with Interference. His research investigates the connection between Cell biology and topics such as Anaphase that intersect with problems in Cohesin.

He most often published in these fields:

Genetics (100.00%)
Meiosis (89.41%)
Homologous recombination (41.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2019)?

Meiosis (89.41%)
Genetics (100.00%)
Cell biology (24.71%)

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

Raphael Mercier mainly investigates Meiosis, Genetics, Cell biology, Homologous recombination and Arabidopsis. His Meiosis research includes themes of Homologous chromosome, Mitosis, Centromere, Hybrid and Genetic screen. Raphael Mercier is interested in Genetic recombination, which is a field of Genetics.

His studies deal with areas such as Chromosome separation, Securin, Anaphase, Separase and Chromatid as well as Cell biology. His study focuses on the intersection of Homologous recombination and fields such as Chromosomal crossover with connections in the field of Synapsis. His Arabidopsis research includes elements of Kinase, Cellular differentiation, Mutation and Plant breeding.

Between 2016 and 2019, his most popular works were:

A male-expressed rice embryogenic trigger redirected for asexual propagation through seeds (113 citations)
Clonal seeds from hybrid rice by simultaneous genome engineering of meiosis and fertilization genes. (87 citations)
Unleashing meiotic crossovers in hybrid plants. (73 citations)

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

Gene
Chromosome
DNA

Raphael Mercier mostly deals with Meiosis, Genetics, Centromere, Homologous recombination and Genetic recombination. His Meiosis study is concerned with the larger field of Gene. His Genetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hybrid and Heterosis.

His studies in Centromere integrate themes in fields like Subtelomere, Heterochromatin, Homologous chromosome and Recombination. His work carried out in the field of Homologous recombination brings together such families of science as Synapsis, Chromosomal crossover and Chromosome segregation. The study incorporates disciplines such as FANCM and Coefficient of coincidence in addition to Genetic recombination.
