Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Mutation

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Gene, Mutation, Molecular biology and Allele. Genetics is frequently linked to Autism in his study. Steve S. Sommer combines subjects such as Receptor and DNA with his study of Gene.

In his research on the topic of Mutation, Cancer research is strongly related with Breast cancer. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biochemistry and Polymerase chain reaction, Primer. His work carried out in the field of Allele brings together such families of science as Odds ratio, Schizophrenia and Bioinformatics.

His most cited work include:

  • The "megaprimer" method of site-directed mutagenesis. (1075 citations)
  • Beyond Li Fraumeni Syndrome: Clinical Characteristics of Families With p53 Germline Mutations (433 citations)
  • Blind analysis of denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography as a tool for mutation detection (331 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Gene, Molecular biology, Mutation and Allele. His study in Germline mutation, Factor IX, Exon, Missense mutation and Mutation falls within the category of Genetics. His research in Germline mutation intersects with topics in Mutation rate and Germline.

Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Cancer research and Gene. Steve S. Sommer has included themes like Mutant, Oligonucleotide, DNA, DNA polymerase and Polymerase chain reaction in his Molecular biology study. His Mutation research incorporates elements of genomic DNA, Breast cancer, Mutagen and Carcinogenesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (75.40%)
  • Gene (46.37%)
  • Molecular biology (37.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2012)?

  • Genetics (75.40%)
  • Gene (46.37%)
  • Mutation (34.68%)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Gene, Mutation, Molecular biology and Allele. As part of his studies on Genetics, he often connects relevant subjects like Autism. His study looks at the relationship between Gene and fields such as DNA, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Mutation study combines topics in areas such as Cancer, Breast cancer and INDEL Mutation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carcinogenesis, REV1, Oligonucleotide and DNA polymerase. His research investigates the connection between Allele and topics such as Bioinformatics that intersect with issues in microRNA, Schizophrenia, Attributable risk, Diagnosis of schizophrenia and Psychosis.

Between 2006 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Beyond Li Fraumeni Syndrome: Clinical Characteristics of Families With p53 Germline Mutations (433 citations)
  • SNPs in human miRNA genes affect biogenesis and function. (292 citations)
  • High frequency of neurexin 1beta signal peptide structural variants in patients with autism (267 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Mutation

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Autism, Gene, Mutation and Bioinformatics. He integrates several fields in his works, including Genetics and Context. Many of his research projects under Autism are closely connected to Neuroligin with Neuroligin, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Steve S. Sommer conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Gene and Neurexin through his works. His Mutation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Family history and Germline. His Bioinformatics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Schizophrenia, microRNA and Point mutation.
