Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Virus

Andrew J. Davison mostly deals with Gene, Virology, Genetics, Genome and Virus. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Virus classification, Peptide sequence and Genome evolution. Herpes simplex virus, Alloherpesviridae, Herpesvirales, Genomic organization and Sequence analysis are the subjects of his Genetics studies.

As a part of the same scientific study, Andrew J. Davison usually deals with the Herpes simplex virus, concentrating on Frameshift mutation and frequently concerns with Restriction enzyme and Cosmid. The concepts of his Genome study are interwoven with issues in Phylogenetics, Sequence alignment and DNA sequencing. His studies examine the connections between Virus and genetics, as well as such issues in Molecular biology, with regards to Gene expression and Open reading frame.

His most cited work include:

  • The complete DNA sequence of the long unique region in the genome of herpes simplex virus type 1. (1405 citations)
  • The complete DNA sequence of varicella-zoster virus. (1240 citations)
  • Ratification vote on taxonomic proposals to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (2015). (873 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Andrew J. Davison mainly focuses on Virology, Gene, Genetics, Genome and Virus. His DNA sequencing research extends to the thematically linked field of Virology. In most of his Gene studies, his work intersects topics such as Molecular biology.

Genome is often connected to Mutation in his work. His Virus research includes elements of Plasmid and Cyprinid herpesvirus 3. His work in Herpes simplex virus addresses subjects such as Capsid, which are connected to disciplines such as Channel catfish virus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (63.56%)
  • Gene (47.37%)
  • Genetics (42.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Virology (63.56%)
  • Human cytomegalovirus (19.43%)
  • Genome (40.49%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Human cytomegalovirus, Genome, Gene and Virus. His studies deal with areas such as Innate immune system, Virus classification, Pathogen and Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 as well as Virology. His studies in Human cytomegalovirus integrate themes in fields like Mutation, Congenital cytomegalovirus infection, Immune system, Genotype and Antibody.

His Genome study deals with the bigger picture of Genetics. His Gene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cyprinivirus and Pathogenesis. His Virus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as RNA, RNA polymerase and Molecular biology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Changes to taxonomy and the International Code of Virus Classification and Nomenclature ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (2017) (489 citations)
  • Consensus statement: Virus taxonomy in the age of metagenomics (325 citations)
  • Additional changes to taxonomy ratified in a special vote by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (October 2018) (58 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Virus

Virology, Virus classification, Human cytomegalovirus, Executive committee and Taxonomy are his primary areas of study. His study in the field of Virus and Outbreak is also linked to topics like Abortion. His work on Ebola virus is typically connected to Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus as part of general Virus study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Human cytomegalovirus study incorporates themes from Host–pathogen interaction, Genome, Genotype and Cell biology. To a larger extent, Andrew J. Davison studies Gene with the aim of understanding Genome. His research integrates issues of Subphylum, Phylum, Subkingdom and Subfamily in his study of Taxonomy.
