Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Wolf Reik focuses on Genetics, DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Reprogramming and Genomic imprinting. As a part of the same scientific study, Wolf Reik usually deals with the Genetics, concentrating on Cell biology and frequently concerns with microRNA. He has included themes like Methylation and Cellular differentiation in his DNA methylation study.

His studies deal with areas such as Embryonic stem cell, Differentially methylated regions, Gene expression and DNA as well as Epigenetics. His research in Reprogramming intersects with topics in Somatic cell, Germline, Zygote, Demethylation and Embryo. The study incorporates disciplines such as Germ line development, Andrology, Molecular biology, Fetus and Imprinting in addition to Genomic imprinting.

His most cited work include:

  • Evolution and functions of long noncoding RNAs (3170 citations)
  • Epigenetic Reprogramming in Mammalian Development (2447 citations)
  • Genomic imprinting: parental influence on the genome (1879 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in DNA methylation, Genetics, Epigenetics, Cell biology and Genomic imprinting. His DNA methylation research includes themes of Chromatin, Reprogramming, Methylation and Computational biology. His research in Reprogramming focuses on subjects like Transcription factor, which are connected to Maternal to zygotic transition.

His Epigenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Bisulfite sequencing, Cellular differentiation, RNA-Directed DNA Methylation, Epigenesis and CpG site. His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Embryonic stem cell, Induced pluripotent stem cell and Transcriptome. His Genomic imprinting research incorporates themes from Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome, Placenta, Fetus, Differentially methylated regions and Imprinting.

He most often published in these fields:

  • DNA methylation (105.41%)
  • Genetics (85.77%)
  • Epigenetics (72.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (61.32%)
  • DNA methylation (105.41%)
  • Epigenetics (72.95%)

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

Wolf Reik mostly deals with Cell biology, DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Chromatin and Gene. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Reprogramming, Transcriptome and Embryonic stem cell, Induced pluripotent stem cell. His Reprogramming study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transcription factor and Epigenome.

His DNA methylation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Methylation, Computational biology and Cellular differentiation. His Epigenetics research is classified as research in Genetics. His research integrates issues of H3K4me3, Histone, Priming and Transcription in his study of Chromatin.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • scNMT-seq enables joint profiling of chromatin accessibility DNA methylation and transcription in single cells. (247 citations)
  • scNMT-seq enables joint profiling of chromatin accessibility DNA methylation and transcription in single cells. (247 citations)
  • scNMT-seq enables joint profiling of chromatin accessibility DNA methylation and transcription in single cells. (247 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

DNA methylation, Cell biology, Epigenetics, Chromatin and Computational biology are his primary areas of study. Wolf Reik studies Epigenomics which is a part of DNA methylation. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Reprogramming, Endoderm, Induced pluripotent stem cell and Mesoderm.

In his research, Human genetics is intimately related to CpG site, which falls under the overarching field of Epigenetics. His Chromatin research focuses on Histone and how it relates to Transcription. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Bisulfite sequencing, Whole genome sequencing and Whole genome bisulfite sequencing.
