What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Molecular biology, Transcription factor, Promoter, Enhancer and Transcription are his primary areas of study.
Walter Schaffner has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including Gene expression, DNA methylation, Gene, Regulation of gene expression and CpG site.
His work on DNA-binding protein as part of general Transcription factor research is frequently linked to Histone octamer, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Walter Schaffner combines subjects such as Sequence motif, Reporter gene and Cell biology with his study of Promoter.
His research investigates the connection between Enhancer and topics such as Regulatory sequence that intersect with issues in Binding protein and Histone H2B.
The concepts of his Transcription study are interwoven with issues in Complementary DNA, TATA box and Octamer transcription factor.
His most cited work include:
- Rapid detection of octamer binding proteins with ‘mini extracts’, prepared from a small number of cells (3875 citations)
- A rapid, sensitive, and specific method for the determination of protein in dilute solution (2237 citations)
- A very strong enhancer is located upstream of an immediate early gene of human cytomegalovirus (1120 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Walter Schaffner focuses on Molecular biology, Enhancer, Transcription factor, Gene and Genetics.
The study incorporates disciplines such as DNA, DNA-binding protein, Transfection, Promoter and Transcription in addition to Molecular biology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Reporter gene and Regulatory sequence.
His study in Enhancer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Regulation of gene expression, Immunoglobulin heavy chain and Cell biology.
The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as RNA polymerase II and General transcription factor.
His work focuses on many connections between Transcription factor and other disciplines, such as Metallothionein, that overlap with his field of interest in Mutant.
