2005 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Gene, Arabidopsis, Genetics, Arabidopsis thaliana and Gene family are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Arabidopsis brings together such families of science as Chromatin, Gene expression and Bacteria. His Gene expression research includes elements of Bioremediation and Transgene.

In Gene family, Richard B. Meagher works on issues like Reporter gene, which are connected to Beta-glucuronidase and Molecular biology. In his research, Cytoplasmic streaming is intimately related to Cytoskeleton, which falls under the overarching field of Actin. Richard B. Meagher combines subjects such as Arsenate, Botany and Arsenite with his study of Biochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Phytoremediation of toxic elemental and organic pollutants. (645 citations)
  • Strong, constitutive expression of the Arabidopsis ACT2/ACT8 actin subclass in vegetative tissues (453 citations)
  • Engineering tolerance and hyperaccumulation of arsenic in plants by combining arsenate reductase and gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase expression. (412 citations)

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

Richard B. Meagher mainly investigates Genetics, Gene, Arabidopsis, Biochemistry and Arabidopsis thaliana. His Arabidopsis study incorporates themes from Wild type and RNA interference. His study on Biochemistry also encompasses disciplines like

  • Arsenate which is related to area like Phytoremediation,
  • Bacteria most often made with reference to Botany.

His study looks at the intersection of Phytoremediation and topics like Bioremediation with Transgene. He focuses mostly in the field of Actin, narrowing it down to matters related to Profilin and, in some cases, Actin-binding protein. The study incorporates disciplines such as Peptide sequence, Reporter gene and Phylogenetics, Molecular evolution in addition to Gene family.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (33.96%)
  • Gene (31.60%)
  • Arabidopsis (26.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • DNA methylation (5.66%)
  • Internal medicine (5.19%)
  • Endocrinology (4.72%)

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

Richard B. Meagher focuses on DNA methylation, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Epigenetics and Adipose tissue. His DNA methylation study results in a more complete grasp of Genetics. His Cofilin, Negative selection, Phylogenetics and Actin depolymerizing factor study in the realm of Genetics interacts with subjects such as Phylogenetic Pattern.

Richard B. Meagher studied Epigenetics and Methylation that intersect with CpG site and Metabolism. The various areas that he examines in his Cell biology study include Phenotype, Gene, Arabidopsis thaliana and Botany. His study in Gene focuses on Arabidopsis and Mutant.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • RNAsnap™: a rapid, quantitative and inexpensive, method for isolating total RNA from bacteria (96 citations)
  • Engineered Phytoremediation of Mercury Pollution in Soil and Water Using Bacterial Genes (76 citations)
  • Hijacking membrane transporters for arsenic phytoextraction. (61 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Arabidopsis thaliana, Cell biology, Botany, Chromatin and Phytoremediation. Arabidopsis thaliana is a subfield of Biochemistry that Richard B. Meagher tackles. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Pons and Cell cycle.

His research in Botany intersects with topics in Phenotype, Gene, Phosphate and Actin. His Actin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Actin cytoskeleton, Profilin, Arabidopsis, Mutant and Protist. His studies in Phytoremediation integrate themes in fields like Mercury pollution and Bacterial genes.
