Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Her primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Transposable element, Gene, Genome and Inverted repeat. The concepts of her Transposable element study are interwoven with issues in genomic DNA and Computational biology. Her Gene study typically links adjacent topics like Molecular biology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Oryza sativa and Sequence in addition to Genome. She works mostly in the field of Inverted repeat, limiting it down to topics relating to GenBank and, in certain cases, Direct repeat. Her Retrotransposon research focuses on Gene mapping and how it connects with Copy-number variation and Ploidy.

Her most cited work include:

  • The B73 Maize Genome: Complexity, Diversity, and Dynamics (3021 citations)
  • Plant transposable elements: where genetics meets genomics (742 citations)
  • Molecular identification and isolation of the Waxy locus in maize. (690 citations)

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

Susan R. Wessler mainly focuses on Genetics, Transposable element, Genome, Gene and Inverted repeat. Susan R. Wessler studied Transposable element and Computational biology that intersect with Phylogenetic tree. The Genome study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology and Oryza sativa.

Her Mutant, Gene expression and Mutation study in the realm of Gene connects with subjects such as R gene. Her research investigates the connection with Inverted repeat and areas like genomic DNA which intersect with concerns in GenBank. Her Retrotransposon research incorporates themes from Long terminal repeat and Gene mapping.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (82.09%)
  • Transposable element (61.94%)
  • Genome (50.00%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2007-2021)?

  • Genetics (82.09%)
  • Transposable element (61.94%)
  • Genome (50.00%)

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

Susan R. Wessler focuses on Genetics, Transposable element, Genome, Genome evolution and Transposase. Her Transposable element research incorporates elements of Evolutionary biology, Inverted repeat, Conserved sequence and Locus. Many of her research projects under Inverted repeat are closely connected to Ping with Ping, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Her Genome study is associated with Gene. Gene mapping and Retrotransposon are among the areas of Gene where Susan R. Wessler concentrates her study. Susan R. Wessler has researched Transposase in several fields, including Amino acid, Structural variation, Regulatory sequence and Sequence analysis, DNA.

Between 2007 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The B73 Maize Genome: Complexity, Diversity, and Dynamics (3021 citations)
  • Unexpected consequences of a sudden and massive transposon amplification on rice gene expression (356 citations)
  • MITE-Hunter: a program for discovering miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements from genomic sequences (260 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Her primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Transposable element, Genome, Genome evolution and Inverted repeat. Many of her studies on Genetics apply to Mimulus as well. Her Transposable element study combines topics in areas such as Oryza sativa, Computational biology and Conserved sequence.

Her Conserved sequence study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phylogenetics and Phylogenetic tree. Her Genome evolution research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ploidy, Retrotransposon, Gene mapping and Genomics. Her work carried out in the field of Genomics brings together such families of science as genomic DNA and Plant genetics.
