Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Genetics

Andrew J. Leigh Brown mainly focuses on Virology, Phylogenetic tree, Genetics, Virus and Phylogenetics. His work is dedicated to discovering how Virology, Immunology are connected with Drug resistance and other disciplines. Andrew J. Leigh Brown usually deals with Phylogenetic tree and limits it to topics linked to Sequence analysis and Computational biology.

His research links Population genetics with Genetics. His Virus research includes elements of V3 loop, Nucleic acid sequence and Hypervariable region. His studies in Viral phylodynamics integrate themes in fields like Evolutionary biology and Men who have sex with men.

His most cited work include:

  • Selection for specific sequences in the external envelope protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 upon primary infection. (425 citations)
  • Episodic sexual transmission of HIV revealed by molecular phylodynamics. (317 citations)
  • Molecular evidence for genetic mixing of Arctic and Antarctic subpolar populations of planktonic foraminifers (306 citations)

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

Andrew J. Leigh Brown mostly deals with Virology, Genetics, Phylogenetic tree, Virus and Phylogenetics. His Virology study combines topics in areas such as Reverse transcriptase, Immunology and Drug resistance. His work in Immunology tackles topics such as Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome which are related to areas like Epidemiology.

His studies deal with areas such as Evolutionary biology and Ecology as well as Phylogenetic tree. His Virus research includes elements of V3 loop and Genotype. His research integrates issues of Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, Computational biology and Sequence analysis in his study of Phylogenetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (42.38%)
  • Genetics (27.15%)
  • Phylogenetic tree (19.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

  • Virology (42.38%)
  • Genome (8.61%)
  • Phylogenetic tree (19.21%)

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

His main research concerns Virology, Genome, Phylogenetic tree, Transmission and Genetics. His work deals with themes such as Molecular epidemiology, Genotype and Sequence analysis, which intersect with Virology. His Genome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phylogenetics, Neuroscience, Genetic diversity and Computational biology.

His study in the field of Clade also crosses realms of Cartography. He studies Breakpoint which is a part of Genetics. His Virus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Viral genomes and Polymerase chain reaction.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The global transmission network of HIV-1 (163 citations)
  • HIV-TRACE (TRAnsmission Cluster Engine): a Tool for Large Scale Molecular Epidemiology of HIV-1 and Other Rapidly Evolving Pathogens. (110 citations)
  • Phylogenetic studies of transmission dynamics in generalized HIV epidemics: an essential tool where the burden is greatest? (65 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Virology, Molecular epidemiology, Transmission, Transmission and Phylogenetics. His work carried out in the field of Virology brings together such families of science as Hiv transmission and Genotype. His Molecular epidemiology research includes themes of Population level, Risk analysis and Phylogenetic study.

The concepts of his Transmission study are interwoven with issues in Viral load and Environmental health. His Phylogenetics research incorporates themes from Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 and Phylogenetic tree. His study on Virus is covered under Genetics.
