Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Sankar Adhya focuses on Molecular biology, gal operon, Escherichia coli, Operon and Genetics. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mutant, Immunotoxin, Fusion protein, Transforming growth factor and Pseudomonas exotoxin. His gal operon study is focused on Promoter and Transcription.

His research investigates the link between Escherichia coli and topics such as Virology that cross with problems in Phagemid, Cecum, Peptide secretion and Secretion. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mutation and Galactose. The Repressor study combines topics in areas such as RNA polymerase and Locus.

His most cited work include:

  • Evidence for two functional gal promoters in intact Escherichia coli cells. (787 citations)
  • DNA: Insertion Elements, Plasmids, and Episomes. (471 citations)
  • Control of Transcription Termination (431 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Molecular biology, DNA, Transcription, Genetics and Repressor. His Molecular biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bacteriophage, Prophage, Psychological repression, gal operon and Mutant. His biological study deals with issues like Bacteria, which deal with fields such as Virology.

His DNA study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biophysics, Binding site and Nucleoid. His research in Transcription intersects with topics in RNA, Promoter, RNA polymerase II and Cell biology. His Repressor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of DNA-binding protein and Regulon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (41.53%)
  • DNA (29.84%)
  • Transcription (29.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • DNA (29.84%)
  • Genetics (25.81%)
  • Nucleoid (7.66%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in DNA, Genetics, Nucleoid, Transcription and Cell biology. His work deals with themes such as Biophysics, Molecular biology, Chromosome and Repressor, which intersect with DNA. His Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Origin of replication and DNA gyrase.

His study looks at the relationship between Repressor and fields such as Lysogenic cycle, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His work carried out in the field of Transcription brings together such families of science as Promoter and Binding site. His study with gal operon involves better knowledge in Operon.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • HU multimerization shift controls nucleoid compaction (79 citations)
  • Novel “Superspreader” Bacteriophages Promote Horizontal Gene Transfer by Transformation (68 citations)
  • Genome scale patterns of supercoiling in a bacterial chromosome (68 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include DNA, Genetics, Nucleoid, RNA and Circular bacterial chromosome. His DNA study also includes fields such as

  • Cell biology that connect with fields like Molecular biology,
  • Repressor which intersects with area such as Bacteriophage. In his study, Lytic cycle is strongly linked to Lysogen, which falls under the umbrella field of Molecular biology.

His RNA research includes elements of Bacterial nucleoid and Eukaryotic chromosome fine structure. He has included themes like Transcription and Transcriptional regulation in his Circular bacterial chromosome study. His research integrates issues of Intracellular, Intracellular parasite, Mutant, Escherichia coli and Chromatin in his study of Transcription.
