Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • DNA
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Gene

Her main research concerns Crystallography, DNA, Base pair, Nucleic acid and Computational chemistry. Her research integrates issues of Chemical physics, Thermal fluctuations, Molecule and Folding in her study of Crystallography. Her DNA study deals with the bigger picture of Genetics.

Her studies in Base pair integrate themes in fields like DNA binding site, Twist, Structural biology, Stacking and Protein structure. Her Stacking research incorporates elements of Visualization and Protein Data Bank. Her Nucleic acid study incorporates themes from Algorithm, Base sequence and Atomic coordinates.

Her most cited work include:

  • 3DNA: a software package for the analysis, rebuilding and visualization of three‐dimensional nucleic acid structures (1261 citations)
  • DNA sequence-dependent deformability deduced from protein–DNA crystal complexes (854 citations)
  • The nucleic acid database. A comprehensive relational database of three-dimensional structures of nucleic acids (794 citations)

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

Wilma K. Olson mainly focuses on DNA, Crystallography, Base pair, DNA supercoil and Nucleosome. The various areas that Wilma K. Olson examines in her DNA study include Chemical physics, Biophysics and Computational biology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chain, Polynucleotide, Molecule and Nucleic acid.

Her research integrates issues of Biological system and Stereochemistry in her study of Nucleic acid. Her Base pair study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as RNA, Minicircle, Stacking and Energy minimization. The concepts of her DNA supercoil study are interwoven with issues in Twist, Classical mechanics, Linking number, Elastic energy and A-DNA.

She most often published in these fields:

  • DNA (42.02%)
  • Crystallography (31.51%)
  • Base pair (23.11%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • DNA (42.02%)
  • Chromatin (11.76%)
  • Biophysics (14.71%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include DNA, Chromatin, Biophysics, Nucleosome and Genetics. Base pair and Minicircle are among the areas of DNA where she concentrates her study. Her Base pair study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cytosine, Elastic energy, Nucleic acid and RNA.

Her studies deal with areas such as Solenoid, ChIP-sequencing and Folding, Biochemistry as well as Biophysics. In Nucleosome, Wilma K. Olson works on issues like Database, which are connected to Protein secondary structure. Her Histone research incorporates themes from Molecular dynamics, Crystallography, Theoretical physics, Potential energy and Curvature.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • DSSR: an integrated software tool for dissecting the spatial structure of RNA (103 citations)
  • Working the kinks out of nucleosomal DNA. (46 citations)
  • Web 3DNA 2.0 for the analysis, visualization, and modeling of 3D nucleic acid structures. (40 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • DNA
  • Gene

Wilma K. Olson mainly focuses on DNA, Genetics, Computational biology, Chromatin and Base pair. Her work deals with themes such as Biophysics and Molecular dynamics, which intersect with DNA. As a part of the same scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Genetics, focusing on Folding and, on occasion, Sequence and DNA Folding.

The study incorporates disciplines such as DNA supercoil, HMG-box and Genome in addition to Computational biology. Her Base pair study combines topics in areas such as DNA binding site, Stacking, Nucleic acid and Protein–DNA interaction. Her work investigates the relationship between Stacking and topics such as Protein Data Bank that intersect with problems in RNA.
