Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Chromosome

His main research concerns Meiosis, Genetics, Synaptonemal complex, Cell biology and Synapsis. His study in Meiosis focuses on Prophase in particular. Synaptonemal complex assembly and DNA repair is closely connected to Homologous recombination in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Synaptonemal complex.

His primary area of study in Cell biology is in the field of Lamin. His work in Lamin covers topics such as Nuclear lamina which are related to areas like Somatic cell, Nuclear membrane, Cytokinesis, Mitosis and Chromatin. As a member of one scientific family, Ricardo Benavente mostly works in the field of Synapsis, focusing on Chromosomal crossover and, on occasion, Transverse filament.

His most cited work include:

  • The nuclear lamins: A multigene family of proteins in evolution and differentiation (443 citations)
  • Functional and dynamic aspects of the mammalian nucleolus. (233 citations)
  • Cell type-specific expression of nuclear lamina proteins during development of Xenopus laevis. (192 citations)

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

Meiosis, Cell biology, Synaptonemal complex, Genetics and Synapsis are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Meiosis study are interwoven with issues in Telomere, Molecular biology and Chromosome. As part of the same scientific family, Ricardo Benavente usually focuses on Cell biology, concentrating on Chromatin and intersecting with Developmental biology.

His Synaptonemal complex research entails a greater understanding of Homologous chromosome. His Synapsis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chromosomal crossover, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, Point mutation and Lateral element. His studies deal with areas such as Spermatid, Nuclear lamina and Somatic cell as well as Lamin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Meiosis (54.87%)
  • Cell biology (43.36%)
  • Synaptonemal complex (37.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Meiosis (54.87%)
  • Synaptonemal complex (37.17%)
  • Synapsis (30.09%)

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

Ricardo Benavente focuses on Meiosis, Synaptonemal complex, Synapsis, Cell biology and Homologous chromosome. His studies in Meiosis integrate themes in fields like Biophysics and LINC complex, Cytoskeleton. His Synaptonemal complex research is under the purview of Genetics.

His Synapsis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as XYY syndrome, Chromosomal crossover, Sertoli cell and Germline mosaicism. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Telomere, Robustness and Longevity. Borrowing concepts from Central element, Ricardo Benavente weaves in ideas under Homologous chromosome.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transcriptome analysis of highly purified mouse spermatogenic cell populations: gene expression signatures switch from meiotic-to postmeiotic-related processes at pachytene stage (59 citations)
  • C14ORF39/SIX6OS1 is a constituent of the synaptonemal complex and is essential for mouse fertility. (37 citations)
  • Mutations in Genes Coding for Synaptonemal Complex Proteins and Their Impact on Human Fertility. (29 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Chromosome

His primary areas of investigation include Meiosis, Genetics, Gene, Synaptonemal complex and Cell biology. All of his Meiosis and Prophase, Chromosomal crossover and Synapsis investigations are sub-components of the entire Meiosis study. His work on Meiotic Prophase I as part of general Genetics study is frequently linked to Mini review, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His work on Knockout mouse, Mutation, Transcriptome and Chromatoid body as part of general Gene study is frequently linked to Scaffold protein, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Synaptonemal complex research includes elements of Prophase I, Developmental biology, Phylogenetics and Model organism. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Telomere, Cytoskeleton and Longevity.
