Genome Research

Top Research Topics at Genome Research?

Genome Research primarily tackles Genetics, Gene, Genome, Computational biology and Human genome. The research on Genetics discussed in Genome Research draws on the closely related field of Evolutionary biology. The presented research on Gene deals specifically with Molecular biology but it also addresses topics in DNA.

The Genome study featured in it draws connections with the study of Phylogenetics. It focuses on Computational biology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as RNA, Transcriptome and Transcription factor. Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Transcription factor and the similar topic of Chromatin.

The concepts on Chromatin presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Enhancer and Histone. RNA splicing and Intron are some topics wherein Exon research discussed in the journal have an impact. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Regulation of gene expression, apply to Cell biology as well.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Genome Research:

The published papers mainly deal with areas of study such as Genetics, Genome, Gene, Computational biology and Human genome. The journal papers explore research in Evolutionary biology and overlapping concepts in Phylogenetic tree to expand the discourse in Genetics. While the most cited publications focused on Computational biology, they were also able to explore topics like Reference genome, Sequence alignment and Sequence assembly.

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 journal primarily focuses on research topics in Gene, Computational biology, Genome, Cell biology and Gene expression. The Computational biology studies discussed in it incorporate research from disciplines like

• Transcription factor that connect with fields like Gene regulatory network,
• Human genome that intertwine with fields like Retrotransposon.. Genome Research features research on Genome in an attempt to reinforce studies in the field of Genetics.

Aside from discussions in Cell biology, it also deals with the subject of Chromatin which intersects with Histone, Regulation of gene expression, Enhancer and Epigenetics disciplines. Gene expression research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Phenotype, Methylation and Cell type. The work on RNA splicing tackled in Genome Research brings together disciplines like Alternative splicing and Exon.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Accurate and efficient detection of gene fusions from RNA sequencing data. (20 citations)
• Evolution of genome structure in the Drosophila simulans species complex. (15 citations)
• Data structures based on k-mers for querying large collections of sequencing data sets. (15 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, 3.89% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.70% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.61% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.50% of all publications and 42.20% 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.
