Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
DNA
RNA

Thoru Pederson mostly deals with RNA, Cell biology, Nucleolus, Biochemistry and Genetics. His research on RNA often connects related areas such as Molecular biology. His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Chromatin and Gene expression.

Thoru Pederson combines subjects such as Ribosome and Cell Cycle Protein with his study of Nucleolus. His work on Cell and Nucleotide as part of general Biochemistry study is frequently linked to Superoxide, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work investigates the relationship between Non-coding RNA and topics such as RNA silencing that intersect with problems in RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

His most cited work include:

Method of site-specific alteration of RNA and production of encoded polypeptides (467 citations)
The plurifunctional nucleolus (439 citations)
Multicolor CRISPR labeling of chromosomal loci in human cells (276 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are RNA, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Biochemistry and Ribonucleoprotein. Small nuclear RNA, Non-coding RNA, RNA-binding protein, RNA splicing and Signal recognition particle RNA are among the areas of RNA where Thoru Pederson concentrates his study. His Non-coding RNA study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as RNA silencing and RNA editing.

His Molecular biology research includes themes of Precursor mRNA, Messenger RNA, RNA polymerase I, Transcription and Intron. His work deals with themes such as Chromatin and Gene expression, which intersect with Cell biology. His Nucleolus research integrates issues from Cell cycle and Ribosome.

He most often published in these fields:

RNA (29.37%)
Molecular biology (25.17%)
Cell biology (23.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

MEDLINE (8.04%)
CRISPR (3.50%)
Historical Article (2.45%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in MEDLINE, CRISPR, Historical Article, DNA and RNA. His MEDLINE research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Family medicine, General surgery, Bioinformatics and Library science. His CRISPR research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genome, Mitosis, Cell cycle, Cell nucleus and Computational biology.

The DNA study combines topics in areas such as Chromosome and Cas9. His work in RNA tackles topics such as Guide RNA which are related to areas like Subgenomic mRNA. Transcription connects with themes related to Cell biology in his study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Multiplexed labeling of genomic loci with dCas9 and engineered sgRNAs using CRISPRainbow (214 citations)
CRISPR-Cas9 nuclear dynamics and target recognition in living cells (98 citations)
CRISPR-Sirius: RNA scaffolds for signal amplification in genome imaging (40 citations)

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

Gene
DNA
RNA

Thoru Pederson spends much of his time researching MEDLINE, RNA, DNA, Genome and CRISPR. His RNA research incorporates elements of Guide RNA and Virology. His study on DNA damage and Base excision repair is often connected to PARP1 and Origin recognition complex as part of broader study in DNA.

His study in DNA damage is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both DNA ligase, DNA replication and Cell biology. The concepts of his Genome study are interwoven with issues in Cell cycle, Chromosomal region, Mitosis and Interphase. The various areas that he examines in his CRISPR study include Evolutionary biology and Interphase Chromosome.
