Most of Samson's contemporary publications are written about alkylating agents in particular or about DNA repair pathways.[13] One of her most-cited articles, "Global response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to an alkylating agent", measures the gene transcript levels of a yeast named Saccharomyces cerevisiae.[14] Another highly cited article, also about Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was published in 2000 and entitled "Regulatory Networks Revealed by Transcriptional Profiling of Damaged Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cells: Rpn4 Links Base Excision Repair with Proteasomes."[15] This paper finds that the transcription and repair of certain genes in the yeast are regulated by the proteasome-associated protein Rpn4.[15] Samson is also an Associate Editor of the journal DNA Repair, a "leading scientific journal that publishes research on cellular responses to DNA damage."[16]
