1935 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

His main research concerns Genetics, Genome, Nicotiana, Chromosome and Ribosomal DNA. His Genetics study frequently involves adjacent topics like Tragopogon. The Genome study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Genetic drift and Fixation.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Nicotiana, Whole genome sequencing, Bacterial artificial chromosome and Reticulate evolution is strongly linked to Tandem repeat. His Chromosome study deals with genomic DNA intersecting with Southern blot, Chromatin and Cytogenetics. His Ribosomal DNA research includes elements of Molecular biology, Gene conversion and Locus.

His most cited work include:

  • Genomic Plasticity and the Diversity of Polyploid Plants (589 citations)
  • In Situ Localization of Parental Genomes in a Wide Hybrid (480 citations)
  • Genomic in situ hybridization to identify alien chromosomes and chromosome segments in wheat. (243 citations)

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

Genetics, Genome, Ploidy, Ribosomal DNA and Evolutionary biology are his primary areas of study. Telomere, Chromosome, Nicotiana, DNA sequencing and Nicotiana tabacum are the core of his Genetics study. His research investigates the connection between Genome and topics such as Phylogenetic tree that intersect with problems in Phylogenetics.

His research investigates the connection between Ploidy and topics such as Tragopogon that intersect with issues in Tragopogon miscellus. Andrew R. Leitch has researched Ribosomal DNA in several fields, including Ribosomal RNA, Gene conversion, Concerted evolution, Hybrid and Locus. His Evolutionary biology research incorporates elements of Gymnosperm, Internal transcribed spacer and Genomics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (67.16%)
  • Genome (38.81%)
  • Ploidy (19.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Genome (38.81%)
  • Evolutionary biology (16.92%)
  • Genome size (14.43%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genome, Evolutionary biology, Genome size, Genetics and Ploidy. His Genome study incorporates themes from Lineage, Phylogenetic tree and DNA sequencing. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nicotiana, Ribosomal DNA, Gymnosperm, Rodent and Fukomys.

Andrew R. Leitch interconnects Genome evolution, Temperate grassland, Competition, Meiotic drive and Repeated sequence in the investigation of issues within Genome size. His work is connected to Bacterial genome size, C-value, Molecular phylogenetics, Gene conversion and DNA methylation, as a part of Genetics. His study in the field of Polyploid and Endoreduplication is also linked to topics like Ophrys.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • British Thoracic Society guidelines for the management of non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) (213 citations)
  • British Thoracic Society Guideline for the management of non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) (119 citations)
  • Analysis of the giant genomes of Fritillaria (Liliaceae) indicates that a lack of DNA removal characterizes extreme expansions in genome size (89 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Andrew R. Leitch focuses on Genome, Genetics, Genome size, Genomics and Lineage. His Genome research is mostly focused on the topic Viridiplantae. His Molecular phylogenetics, Ribosomal DNA, Ribosomal RNA, Ploidy and RNA-Directed DNA Methylation study are his primary interests in Genetics.

His Polyploid study in the realm of Ploidy interacts with subjects such as Context. His Genome size research also works with subjects such as

  • Bacterial genome size which connect with Repeated sequence and Tandem repeat,
  • Genome evolution which connect with Genome project. In his research on the topic of Genomics, Gymnosperm, Welwitschia, Retrotransposon, Gnetum and Whole genome sequencing is strongly related with Evolutionary biology.
