1989 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Dictyostelium discoideum, Dictyostelium, Biochemistry, Cell biology and Mutant. His Dictyostelium discoideum research includes themes of RNA, Nucleic acid sequence, Messenger RNA and Actin. William F. Loomis is researching Dictyostelium as part of the investigation of Genetics and Gene.

His work in Gene addresses subjects such as Molecular biology, which are connected to disciplines such as Gene expression. He interconnects Heat shock protein and Secretion in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. His studies in Mutant integrate themes in fields like Nucleic acid analogue, Axenic, Protein subunit and Protein biosynthesis.

His most cited work include:

  • The genome of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum (1090 citations)
  • Antisense RNA inactivation of myosin heavy chain gene expression in Dictyostelium discoideum (581 citations)
  • Dictyostelium Discoideum: A Developmental System (453 citations)

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

Dictyostelium discoideum, Dictyostelium, Biochemistry, Cell biology and Genetics are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Dictyostelium discoideum brings together such families of science as Mutation, Mutant, Enzyme, Molecular biology and Morphogenesis. William F. Loomis combines subjects such as Phenotype, Slime mold and Spore with his study of Mutant.

His Molecular biology study incorporates themes from Regulation of gene expression, Cell adhesion and Cellular differentiation. His Dictyostelium research is included under the broader classification of Gene. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mycetozoa, Multicellular organism and Botany.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Dictyostelium discoideum (52.94%)
  • Dictyostelium (43.25%)
  • Biochemistry (30.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2016)?

  • Dictyostelium (43.25%)
  • Dictyostelium discoideum (52.94%)
  • Cell biology (30.10%)

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

William F. Loomis mainly investigates Dictyostelium, Dictyostelium discoideum, Cell biology, Genetics and Biochemistry. His Dictyostelium research incorporates themes from Chemotaxis, Receptor, Adenylyl cyclase, Signal transduction and Mutant. William F. Loomis usually deals with Signal transduction and limits it to topics linked to Protein kinase A and Histidine kinase, Phosphodiesterase and Glutamate decarboxylase.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Dictyostelium discoideum, Cell signaling are connected with Cell type and Cytoplasm and other disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Secretion, Morphogenesis and Cell adhesion in addition to Cell biology. The Genome study which covers Proteome that intersects with Protein family, RNA, Amoebozoa, Complete sequence and Genomics.

Between 2005 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Unconventional secretion of Acb1 is mediated by autophagosomes (297 citations)
  • Unconventional secretion of Pichia pastoris Acb1 is dependent on GRASP protein, peroxisomal functions, and autophagosome formation (257 citations)
  • The Golgi-Associated Protein GRASP Is Required for Unconventional Protein Secretion during Development (183 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

William F. Loomis mostly deals with Dictyostelium, Cell biology, Dictyostelium discoideum, Chemotaxis and Biochemistry. His Dictyostelium study is concerned with the field of Genetics as a whole. His Cell biology study which covers Secretion that intersects with Secretory pathway, Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

His Dictyostelium discoideum study improves the overall literature in Gene. His work in Chemotaxis addresses issues such as Motility, which are connected to fields such as Biophysics, Ecology, Single-cell analysis and Pseudopodia. His study in Biochemistry concentrates on Signal transduction and Cell signaling.
