Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Ursula Storb spends much of her time researching Molecular biology, Gene, Genetics, Somatic hypermutation and Transgene. Her Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Immunoglobulin gene, Gene rearrangement, Methylation, Gene expression and Recombinase. In her research, Mutation is intimately related to Antibody, which falls under the overarching field of Gene.

The various areas that Ursula Storb examines in her Somatic hypermutation study include Germline mutation, Immunoglobulin class switching, Somatic cell, Germline and DNA mismatch repair. Her research investigates the connection between Germline mutation and topics such as Promoter that intersect with problems in Intron. Her Transcription research focuses on DNA repair and how it relates to Immunoglobulin genes and T-cell receptor.

Her most cited work include:

  • Mutation of BCL-6 gene in normal B cells by the process of somatic hypermutation of Ig genes (486 citations)
  • Pip, a novel IRF family member, is a lymphoid-specific, PU.1-dependent transcriptional activator. (403 citations)
  • Somatic Hypermutation of Immunoglobulin Genes Is Linked to Transcription Initiation (391 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Molecular biology, Gene, Genetics, Somatic hypermutation and Antibody. Her Molecular biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gene rearrangement, Genetically modified mouse, Transgene, DNA and Immunoglobulin light chain. Her studies in Transcription, Gene expression, Immunoglobulin gene, Enhancer and Regulation of gene expression are all subfields of Gene research.

Ursula Storb has included themes like Mutation, Germline mutation, Immunoglobulin class switching, Cytidine deaminase and DNA repair in her Somatic hypermutation study. Her Germline mutation research integrates issues from Promoter and Somatic cell. Her Antibody study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Spleen, Messenger RNA, Immune system and Antigen.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (71.43%)
  • Gene (45.96%)
  • Genetics (37.27%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 1999-2017)?

  • Somatic hypermutation (32.92%)
  • Genetics (37.27%)
  • Molecular biology (71.43%)

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

Her main research concerns Somatic hypermutation, Genetics, Molecular biology, Gene and Cytidine deaminase. Her research integrates issues of Mutation, Transcription, DNA and Immunoglobulin class switching in her study of Somatic hypermutation. Her research in the fields of Enhancer, Uracil-DNA glycosylase, Restriction enzyme and Homologous recombination overlaps with other disciplines such as Bacterial artificial chromosome.

The various areas that Ursula Storb examines in her Molecular biology study include Immunoglobulin gene, Antibody, Transgene, DNA mismatch repair and DNA polymerase. Her research brings together the fields of T-cell receptor and Gene. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including RNA editing, Cytidine deamination, Activation-induced deaminase, Chromatin and Cell biology.

Between 1999 and 2017, her most popular works were:

  • AID in somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination (157 citations)
  • Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) can target both DNA strands when the DNA is supercoiled. (129 citations)
  • The E Box Motif CAGGTG Enhances Somatic Hypermutation without Enhancing Transcription (118 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Somatic hypermutation, Genetics, Gene, DNA and Cytidine deaminase. Her work deals with themes such as DNA polymerase, Molecular biology and DNA mismatch repair, which intersect with Somatic hypermutation. In general Genetics, her work in Transcription, Enhancer, Transgene and Immunoglobulin class switching is often linked to Cytosine deaminase linking many areas of study.

Specifically, her work in Gene is concerned with the study of DNA repair. Her study in the field of Immunoglobulin genes is also linked to topics like Deamination. Her study in Antibody is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mutation, TATA-binding protein and TATA box.
