  • "Driving integrative structural modeling with serial capture affinity purification" (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • "When histones are under glucose starvation" (2020, Journal of Biosciences)
  • "The SAGA core module is critical during Drosophila oogenesis and is broadly recruited to promoters" (2021, PLoS Genetics)
  • "Driving Integrative Structural Modeling with Serial Capture Affinity Purification" (2020, bioRxiv - Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • "The SAGA core module is critical during Drosophila oogenesis and is broadly recruited to promoters" (2021, bioRxiv - Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Collaborations played an important role in Abmayr's work, with frequent co-authors including:

  • Jerry L. Workman
  • Ying Zhang
  • Yan Hao
  • Charles A.S. Banks
  • Jeffrey J. Lange

The researcher's contributions were situated primarily in the study of complex biological processes at the molecular level, including chromatin remodeling, protein interactions, and metabolic pathways important in health and disease contexts such as diabetes and cancer.
