Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Susan E. Celniker focuses on Genetics, Genome, Gene, Drosophila melanogaster and Computational biology. Her work in Genome addresses issues such as Chromatin, which are connected to fields such as REDfly and Gene regulatory network. Her study in Drosophila melanogaster is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Proteome, Transcriptome, Caenorhabditis elegans and Transposable element.

Susan E. Celniker has included themes like Whole genome sequencing and Shotgun sequencing in her Computational biology study. Susan E. Celniker combines subjects such as Genome project and Genome size with her study of Whole genome sequencing. The concepts of her Shotgun sequencing study are interwoven with issues in Genome evolution, Gene density, Bacterial artificial chromosome, Sequence assembly and Sequence.

Her most cited work include:

  • The genome sequence of Drosophila melanogaster (5233 citations)
  • Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny. (1731 citations)
  • Comparative Genomics of the Eukaryotes (1459 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Genome, Drosophila melanogaster, Computational biology and Gene. Genetics connects with themes related to Cell biology in her study. Susan E. Celniker works mostly in the field of Genome, limiting it down to topics relating to Euchromatin and, in certain cases, Contig, as a part of the same area of interest.

Susan E. Celniker has researched Drosophila melanogaster in several fields, including Transcriptome, Caenorhabditis elegans and Model organism. Her Computational biology research focuses on Genome project and how it connects with Genome evolution. Her Drosophila Protein research includes elements of Phylogenetics and Conserved sequence.

  • Genetics (66.00%)
  • Genome (37.33%)
  • Microbiome (5.33%)

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

Genetics, Genome, Microbiome, Drosophila melanogaster and Computational biology are her primary areas of study. Her study in Gut flora extends to Genetics with its themes. Her Genome research incorporates elements of Interaction network and Interactome.

Her research in Microbiome intersects with topics in Quantitative trait locus, Gene and Physiology. While the research belongs to areas of Drosophila melanogaster, Susan E. Celniker spends her time largely on the problem of Histone, intersecting her research to questions surrounding H3K4me3. Her Computational biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Medical microbiology, ENCODE, DNA, Genomics and Microbial ecology.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • De novo Identification of DNA Modifications Enabled by Genome-Guided Nanopore Signal Processing (113 citations)
  • The modERN Resource: Genome-Wide Binding Profiles for Hundreds of Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans Transcription Factors (61 citations)
  • Influence of early life exposure, host genetics and diet on the mouse gut microbiome and metabolome. (48 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Her primary areas of investigation include Computational biology, Gene, Genetics, DNA and Random forest. In her work, Enhancer and Drosophila embryogenesis is strongly intertwined with ENCODE, which is a subfield of Computational biology. Her work deals with themes such as Microbiome, Cancer, Cancer research and Immunohistochemistry, which intersect with Gene.

In her articles, Susan E. Celniker combines various disciplines, including Genetics and Acquired immune system. Her DNA research focuses on Genome and how it relates to Sequence. Her Drosophila melanogaster research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Histone, Transcription factor and Caenorhabditis elegans.
