Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Quantum mechanics
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Decapentaplegic, Genome, Drosophila melanogaster and Gene. His study in Drosophila Protein, Drosophilidae, Phylogenetics, Synteny and Polytene chromosome are all subfields of Genetics. His Decapentaplegic study incorporates themes from Ectoderm, Embryogenesis and Cell biology.

His research investigates the link between Genome and topics such as Computational biology that cross with problems in Genome project. The various areas that he examines in his Drosophila melanogaster study include Proteome, Caenorhabditis elegans and Fungal protein. His Whole genome sequencing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genome size, Shotgun sequencing, DNA methylation, Bacterial artificial chromosome and Gene density.

His most cited work include:

  • The genome sequence of Drosophila melanogaster (5233 citations)
  • Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny. (1731 citations)
  • Insights into social insects from the genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera (1472 citations)

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

William M. Gelbart mostly deals with Genetics, Gene, Cell biology, Genome and Capsid. His Genetics study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Computational biology. His Capsid research integrates issues from RNA, Crystallography and Biophysics.

His work carried out in the field of RNA brings together such families of science as Virus, Molecule, Nucleotide and Protein secondary structure. His study ties his expertise on Curvature together with the subject of Crystallography. His Biophysics study deals with DNA intersecting with Bacteriophage and Osmotic pressure.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (28.34%)
  • Gene (10.97%)
  • Cell biology (8.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?

  • RNA (7.31%)
  • Capsid (8.41%)
  • Genome (8.96%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in RNA, Capsid, Genome, Biophysics and Genetics. William M. Gelbart has researched RNA in several fields, including Protein secondary structure, Virus, Virology, Nucleotide and Molecule. His Capsid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Crystallography, Ionic strength, In vitro and Single-Stranded RNA.

His biological study deals with issues like Drosophila Protein, which deal with fields such as Molecular evolution. His research in Biophysics intersects with topics in Macromolecular crowding, DNA, Molecular biology, Crowding and Transcription. In his research on the topic of Genetics, Comparative genomics is strongly related with Computational biology.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny. (1731 citations)
  • Genome sequence of Aedes aegypti, a major arbovirus vector (949 citations)
  • Discovery of functional elements in 12 Drosophila genomes using evolutionary signatures (534 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Quantum mechanics
  • DNA

William M. Gelbart mainly investigates Genetics, Genome, Capsid, Crystallography and Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus. His studies link Computational biology with Genetics. His study in the field of Synteny also crosses realms of Aedes aegypti.

His studies examine the connections between Capsid and genetics, as well as such issues in Cryo-electron microscopy, with regards to A protein, Nanotechnology and Persistence length. His research integrates issues of Ionic strength, Phase diagram, Measure, Polymer and Evolutionary pressure in his study of Crystallography. The concepts of his Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus study are interwoven with issues in Self-assembly and Biophysics.
