DNA Research

Top Research Topics at DNA Research?

The journal investigates studies in Genetics, Gene, Genome, Molecular biology and Complementary DNA. Genetics, which encompasses Sequence analysis, DNA sequencing, Nucleic acid sequence, Open reading frame and Expressed sequence tag, is the main subject of DNA Research. Most of the works presented in DNA Research deals with Nucleic acid sequence but it intersects with the subject of Homology (biology).

Gene study tackled is connected to the field of Computational biology. The research on Genome tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Genetic marker, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Sequence assembly. The study on Genetic marker presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Microsatellite.

DNA Research holds forums on Molecular biology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Peptide sequence, Biochemistry, DNA and Exon. The work on Complementary DNA tackled in DNA Research brings together disciplines like Human genome and Genomic library.

The journal papers investigate areas of study like Genetics, Gene, Genome, Complementary DNA and Sequence analysis. The published papers encompass presentations on Genetics, specifically Nucleic acid sequence, Expressed sequence tag, Quantitative trait locus, DNA sequencing and Genetic linkage. The published papers address concerns in Genome which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Microsatellite and Arabidopsis.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

• Gene
• DNA
• Genome

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main research concerns discussed in DNA Research are Genome, Gene, Sequence assembly, Genetics and Computational biology. The research on Genome featured in it combines topics in other fields like Evolutionary biology, Solanum and Bacteriophage. Locus (genetics), Genome project and Genome size research are fields of study within Gene but they also intertwine with concepts in Neuromuscular junction and Catfish.

The concepts on Sequence assembly presented in DNA Research can also apply to other research fields, including Genome evolution, Pearl, Freshwater pearl mussel, Contig and Chromosome. DNA Research features Genetics research that overlaps with concepts in Genetic diversity. The Computational biology works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Homologous chromosome, Transcriptome, Centromere, Complete sequence and Open reading frame.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Building pan-genome infrastructures for crop plants and their use in association genetics. (11 citations)
• The physiological potential of anammox bacteria as revealed by their core genome structure (5 citations)
• Whole-genome sequence diversity and association analysis of 198 soybean accessions in mini-core collections. (4 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 3.57% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.22% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.81% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.81% of all publications and 48.15% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

• Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
• Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
• Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
• Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
• Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
