Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Chromatin, Genetics, Cell biology, Histone and Nucleosome are his primary areas of study. Robert E. Kingston combines subjects such as Chromatin immunoprecipitation, Psychological repression, Epigenetics and Gene silencing with his study of Chromatin. His study looks at the relationship between Genetics and fields such as Computational biology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Transcription factor, Transcription, Chromatin remodeling, General transcription factor and Molecular biology. His study in the field of Histone code and Histone-modifying enzymes is also linked to topics like Histone methylation and Epigenomics. Nucleosome is a subfield of Biochemistry that he studies.

His most cited work include:

  • The ENCODE (ENCyclopedia of DNA elements) Project (1725 citations)
  • Cooperation between Complexes that Regulate Chromatin Structure and Transcription (1336 citations)
  • Histone methyltransferase activity of a Drosophila Polycomb group repressor complex (1255 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Chromatin, Genetics, Molecular biology and Nucleosome. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chromatin structure remodeling complex, Transcription factor, SWI/SNF, Heat shock factor and Transcription. The Chromatin study combines topics in areas such as Psychological repression, Histone and Protein subunit.

Genetics is closely attributed to Computational biology in his work. His Molecular biology study incorporates themes from Heat shock protein, HSPA12A, Transfection, DNA-binding protein and Promoter. His work on Histone octamer and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling is typically connected to Histone methylation as part of general Nucleosome study, connecting several disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (44.44%)
  • Chromatin (35.32%)
  • Genetics (32.54%)

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

  • Cell biology (44.44%)
  • Chromatin (35.32%)
  • Genetics (32.54%)

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

Robert E. Kingston mainly investigates Cell biology, Chromatin, Genetics, Nucleosome and Histone. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Cellular differentiation, Psychological repression, Enhancer, Gene and Transcription. The various areas that he examines in his Chromatin study include Chromatin immunoprecipitation and Computational biology.

His Nucleosome research focuses on subjects like Point mutation, which are linked to Protein subunit, Nucleus and Organelle. His work on Histone H3 and Histone H2A as part of his general Histone study is frequently connected to Histone methylation, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Chromatin remodeling research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phenotype, Exome sequencing, Molecular biology and Histone H1.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Occupying Chromatin: Polycomb Mechanisms for Getting to Genomic Targets, Stopping Transcriptional Traffic, and Staying Put (550 citations)
  • The Long Noncoding RNAs NEAT1 and MALAT1 Bind Active Chromatin Sites (368 citations)
  • Comparative analysis of metazoan chromatin organization (279 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Robert E. Kingston mostly deals with Chromatin, Genetics, Histone, Cell biology and Nucleosome. His Chromatin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Enhancer, Molecular biology and Computational biology. His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Mi-2/NuRD complex and Histone code.

His PRC2, Histone H3 and Histone H2A study, which is part of a larger body of work in Histone, is frequently linked to Epigenomics, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research integrates issues of Polycomb-group proteins, Chromatin immunoprecipitation, Paraspeckle, Non-histone protein and Paraspeckles in his study of Cell biology. His work deals with themes such as Psychological repression, Point mutation, Induced stem cells, Induced pluripotent stem cell and PRC1, which intersect with Nucleosome.
