Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Susan M. Gasser mainly investigates Chromatin, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Genetics and DNA. Her Chromatin research is classified as research in Gene. Her work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as SIR proteins, Origin recognition complex, Pre-replication complex, Cell nucleus and DNA replication.

Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cell cycle, Genome, Nuclear lamina and Binding site. Susan M. Gasser works mostly in the field of Genetics, limiting it down to concerns involving Nucleus and, occasionally, Fluorescence microscope. The study incorporates disciplines such as Regulation of gene expression, Caenorhabditis elegans and Histone H3 in addition to Heterochromatin.

Her most cited work include:

  • Histone H3 and H4 N-termini interact with SIR3 and SIR4 proteins: A molecular model for the formation of heterochromatin in yeast (707 citations)
  • Recruitment of the INO80 Complex by H2A Phosphorylation Links ATP-Dependent Chromatin Remodeling with DNA Double-Strand Break Repair (530 citations)
  • Cohabitation of scaffold binding regions with upstream/enhancer elements of three developmentally regulated genes of D. melanogaster (463 citations)

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

Susan M. Gasser mostly deals with Cell biology, Genetics, Chromatin, Molecular biology and DNA. Her Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transcription, Gene, DNA repair, DNA replication and Heterochromatin. Her study explores the link between Heterochromatin and topics such as Histone H3 that cross with problems in Histone methyltransferase.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Regulation of gene expression and Histone. Susan M. Gasser has included themes like Cell nucleus, S phase, Binding site and Nuclear pore in her Molecular biology study. The DNA study combines topics in areas such as Protein subunit and Genome.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (66.23%)
  • Genetics (53.51%)
  • Chromatin (55.84%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (66.23%)
  • Chromatin (55.84%)
  • Heterochromatin (26.49%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Chromatin, Heterochromatin, DNA and DNA damage. Her Cell biology study incorporates themes from Meiosis, Cohesin, Transcription, Histone and Ubiquitin ligase. She combines subjects such as Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, Telomere and Chromodomain with her study of Chromatin.

Her Heterochromatin research incorporates elements of RNA, Psychological repression and Caenorhabditis elegans. Her DNA damage research incorporates themes from DNA repair and Helicase. Her Histone H3 study improves the overall literature in Genetics.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Active chromatin marks drive spatial sequestration of heterochromatin in C. elegans nuclei (42 citations)
  • Active chromatin marks drive spatial sequestration of heterochromatin in C. elegans nuclei (42 citations)
  • Repressive Chromatin in Caenorhabditis Elegans: Establishment, Composition, and Function (42 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Heterochromatin, Chromatin, DNA and Chromodomain. As part of the same scientific family, Susan M. Gasser usually focuses on Cell biology, concentrating on DNA damage and intersecting with Nucleosome, Cell cycle, Regulation of gene expression and Interphase. The concepts of her Heterochromatin study are interwoven with issues in Histone H3, Transcription and DNA repair.

Her research links Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy with Chromatin. Her work on Chromatin remodeling as part of general DNA study is frequently linked to Actin-binding protein, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Euchromatin is a subfield of Genetics that Susan M. Gasser investigates.
