Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Caenorhabditis elegans, Gene, Operon and Intron. RNA splicing, Trans-splicing, Codon usage bias, Nucleic acid sequence and Amino acid are among the areas of Genetics where he concentrates his study. His Caenorhabditis elegans study incorporates themes from Genome, Transcription, Messenger RNA and Cell biology.

Thomas Blumenthal studied Operon and Gene cluster that intersect with Trypanosoma, Alternative splicing and Genomic organization. His Intron research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Small Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Particle, snRNP, Peptide sequence, Conserved sequence and Splice site mutation. His Caenorhabditis research includes elements of Comparative genomics, Genomics and Gene prediction.

His most cited work include:

  • C. Elegans II (1054 citations)
  • The genome sequence of Caenorhabditis briggsae: A platform for comparative genomics (830 citations)
  • A global analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans operons (317 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Gene, Cell biology, Caenorhabditis elegans and RNA splicing. Operon, Intron, Trans-splicing, Genome and Caenorhabditis are the subjects of his Genetics studies. His work in the fields of Embryo overlaps with other areas such as Programmed cell death.

Thomas Blumenthal combines subjects such as Molecular biology, Messenger RNA and Gene family with his study of Caenorhabditis elegans. Thomas Blumenthal usually deals with Molecular biology and limits it to topics linked to RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. The various areas that Thomas Blumenthal examines in his RNA splicing study include Small nuclear RNA, Consensus sequence and splice.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (37.24%)
  • Gene (26.78%)
  • Cell biology (23.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2017)?

  • Genetics (37.24%)
  • Gene (26.78%)
  • Caenorhabditis elegans (19.67%)

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

Thomas Blumenthal mainly focuses on Genetics, Gene, Caenorhabditis elegans, Operon and RNA splicing. His work in Trans-splicing, Transcription, snRNP, RNA polymerase II and Genome are all subfields of Genetics research. His work on Eukaryote as part of general Gene study is frequently linked to Form and function, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Caenorhabditis elegans research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Evolutionary biology, Nematode, Ecology and Regulation of gene expression. His Operon study also includes

  • Promoter, which have a strong connection to RNA polymerase,
  • Messenger RNA which connect with Molecular biology, Gene cluster, Cell biology and Biophysics. Thomas Blumenthal interconnects Intron and Exon in the investigation of issues within RNA splicing.

Between 2002 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • The genome sequence of Caenorhabditis briggsae: A platform for comparative genomics (830 citations)
  • Coexpression of neighboring genes in Caenorhabditis elegans is mostly due to operons and duplicate genes. (183 citations)
  • Caenorhabditis elegans operons: form and function (157 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Thomas Blumenthal mostly deals with Genetics, Operon, Gene, Caenorhabditis elegans and Trans-splicing. His study of Caenorhabditis briggsae is a part of Genetics. His study in the field of Polar mutation is also linked to topics like Form and function.

His study in Polar mutation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eukaryotic translation, Internal ribosome entry site, Bacterial transcription and Protein biosynthesis. His studies deal with areas such as Genome, NXF1, Molecular biology and RNA interference, RNA silencing as well as Caenorhabditis elegans. His Trans-splicing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Small Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Particle, snRNP, Polyadenylation, Cell biology and Intron.
