OverviewAI-generated summary
Jeffrey A. Lewis's research program focuses on understanding the genetic and molecular underpinnings of biological variation, particularly in microbial systems relevant to bioenergy production and stress resistance.
His work has investigated the genetic architecture of ethanol-responsive transcriptome variation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, identifying genes that contribute to increased ethanol resistance. Lewis has explored the use of natural variation within S. cerevisiae for bioenergy production through comparative genomics. He has also studied the function of specific bacterial enzymes, such as the FAD-dependent tricarballylate dehydrogenase (TcuA) from Salmonella enterica, and the genetic regulation of tricarballylate utilization pathways in Salmonella. A significant portion of his federally funded research, including a $401,254 grant from the NIH/National Institute of General Medical Sciences, investigates the genetic basis of variation in post-transcriptional regulation of stress defense. He has also served as PI on a $151,929 NSF grant for a CAREER Awardee Conference.
Lewis's publication record includes work on RNA isolation methods for RNA-Seq, highlighting implications for differential expression and meta-analyses. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 17, 82 total publications, and 894 total citations. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Stephanie E. Hood, Carson Stacy, Tara Stuecker, and Andrew J. Alverson, with whom he shares multiple publications.
