Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

His primary scientific interests are in Molecular biology, DNA, DNA methylation, Genetics and Gene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Epigenetics of physical exercise, Virology, Restriction enzyme, Base pair and In vitro recombination in addition to Molecular biology. His DNA study combines topics in areas such as Cell culture, Baby hamster kidney cell, Genome, Adenoviridae and Hamster.

His study brings together the fields of Methylation and DNA methylation. The Gene study which covers Spleen that intersects with Cecum, Naked DNA, Green fluorescent protein and Transgene. His Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation research incorporates themes from Differentially methylated regions and Human genome.

His most cited work include:

  • DNA methylation and gene activity (908 citations)
  • Why is CpG suppressed in the genomes of virtually all small eukaryotic viruses but not in those of large eukaryotic viruses (264 citations)
  • Foreign (M13) DNA ingested by mice reaches peripheral leukocytes, spleen, and liver via the intestinal wall mucosa and can be covalently linked to mouse DNA (255 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Molecular biology, DNA, Genetics, DNA methylation and Gene. His studies deal with areas such as Cell culture, Methylation, Transcription and In vitro recombination as well as Molecular biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chromatin, Promoter, Regulation of gene expression and HpaII.

Walter Doerfler works mostly in the field of DNA, limiting it down to topics relating to Virology and, in certain cases, Autographa californica, as a part of the same area of interest. While the research belongs to areas of DNA methylation, Walter Doerfler spends his time largely on the problem of Epigenetics, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Bisulfite sequencing. His RNA-Directed DNA Methylation study which covers Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation that intersects with Differentially methylated regions.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (69.21%)
  • DNA (57.18%)
  • Genetics (39.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2021)?

  • Genetics (39.59%)
  • DNA methylation (35.19%)
  • Epigenetics (10.56%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, DNA methylation, Epigenetics, DNA and Genome. Walter Doerfler has researched DNA methylation in several fields, including Chromatin and Methylation. His Methylation research includes elements of Carcinogenesis, Bisulfite sequencing and Transcription.

His DNA research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Molecular biology, Gastrointestinal tract, Computational biology and Pathology. Specifically, his work in Molecular biology is concerned with the study of Hamster. His study in Genome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Insert and Mutant.

Between 2006 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Distinct DNA-Methylation Boundary in the 5′- Upstream Sequence of the FMR1 Promoter Binds Nuclear Proteins and Is Lost in Fragile X Syndrome (84 citations)
  • A Distinct DNA-Methylation Boundary in the 5′- Upstream Sequence of the FMR1 Promoter Binds Nuclear Proteins and Is Lost in Fragile X Syndrome (84 citations)
  • In pursuit of the first recognized epigenetic signal--DNA methylation: a 1976 to 2008 synopsis. (38 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Walter Doerfler mostly deals with Genetics, DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Epigenetics of physical exercise and Molecular biology. His work on DNA methylation is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Human genome. The concepts of his Epigenetics study are interwoven with issues in DNA and RNA-Directed DNA Methylation.

The DNA study combines topics in areas such as Gastrointestinal tract, Transcription, Germline and Pathology. His Methylation study contributes to a more complete understanding of Gene. His Gene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fragile X syndrome and Virology.
