In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Alastair G. B. Simpson spends much of his time researching Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Clade, Phylogenetics and Monophyly.
The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Euglenozoa, Phylogenomics, Comparative genomics and Eukaryote.
His Euglenozoa research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sister group, Genome and Ribosomal RNA.
His Phylogenetic tree research incorporates themes from Mitochondrial DNA, Mitochondrion, Protist, Metamonad and Organelle.
As part of one scientific family, Alastair G. B. Simpson deals mainly with the area of Protist, narrowing it down to issues related to the 18S ribosomal RNA, and often Zoology and Range.
His Phylogenetics study combines topics in areas such as Sensu and Aquatic ecosystem.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The New Tree of Eukaryotes (139 citations)
- Combined cultivation and single-cell approaches to the phylogenomics of nucleariid amoebae, close relatives of fungi. (10 citations)
- A single-cell genome reveals diplonemid-like ancestry of kinetoplastid mitochondrial gene structure. (7 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Phylogenomics, Paraphyly, Phylogenetics and Clade.
His study in Evolutionary biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Euglenozoa, Phylogenetic tree, Sister group and Eukaryote.
His work deals with themes such as Genome, Genomics, RNA editing and Mitochondrial DNA, which intersect with Euglenozoa.
The various areas that Alastair G. B. Simpson examines in his Phylogenomics study include Tree of life, Opisthokont and Molecular phylogenetics.
His research integrates issues of Sensu, Systematics, Dinema and Vitrea in his study of Paraphyly.
Particularly relevant to Monophyly is his body of work in Phylogenetics.
