Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Genome

Antonis Rokas mainly investigates Genetics, Phylogenetics, Gene, Phylogenetic tree and Genome. His Anopheles research extends to Genetics, which is thematically connected. Antonis Rokas interconnects Evolutionary biology and Phylum in the investigation of issues within Phylogenetics.

Within one scientific family, Antonis Rokas focuses on topics pertaining to Function under Gene, and may sometimes address concerns connected to KaiC, Codon usage bias, Circadian clock, Bacterial circadian rhythms and Adaptation. The various areas that he examines in his Phylogenetic tree study include Information theory, Statistics, Mitochondrial DNA and Degree. His work in the fields of Genome, such as Genomics and Genome evolution, overlaps with other areas such as Ecological niche.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome-scale approaches to resolving incongruence in molecular phylogenies (1284 citations)
  • The paleozoic origin of enzymatic lignin decomposition reconstructed from 31 fungal genomes (1059 citations)
  • The genome of the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis and the origin of metazoans. (856 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Gene, Genome, Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetics. Antonis Rokas focuses mostly in the field of Gene, narrowing it down to matters related to Aspergillus fumigatus and, in some cases, Aspergillus and Human pathogen. His work in Genome tackles topics such as Computational biology which are related to areas like DNA sequencing.

His Evolutionary biology research incorporates themes from Anopheles gambiae, Ecology, Genome-wide association study and Molecular evolution. His Ecology research incorporates elements of Zoology and Genetic diversity. His Phylogenetics study which covers Phylogenetic tree that intersects with Taxon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (49.00%)
  • Gene (41.33%)
  • Genome (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Gene (41.33%)
  • Genome (25.00%)
  • Aspergillus fumigatus (11.33%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Gene, Genome, Aspergillus fumigatus, Virulence and Genetics. Gene and Adaptation are frequently intertwined in his study. He combines subjects such as Evolutionary biology, Ascomycota, Yeast, Phylum and Computational biology with his study of Genome.

Antonis Rokas has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Taxon, Saccharomycotina, Tree of life and Coalescent theory. His research integrates issues of Human pathogen, Gliotoxin and Aspergillus, Microbiology in his study of Virulence. His Molecular evolution research is within the category of Phylogenetics.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Toward a Fully Resolved Fungal Tree of Life. (19 citations)
  • Evolving moldy murderers: Aspergillus section Fumigati as a model for studying the repeated evolution of fungal pathogenicity. (14 citations)
  • Biosynthetic gene clusters and the evolution of fungal chemodiversity. (13 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Genome

Aspergillus fumigatus, Virulence, Inference, Computational biology and Phylogenetics are his primary areas of study. His Virulence research is under the purview of Genetics. His work on Genetics deals in particular with Gene cluster and Secondary metabolite.

His study in Inference is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phylogenetic inference, Phylogenetic tree and Multiple sequence alignment. His Phylogenetic tree study combines topics in areas such as Tree and Replicate. His Phylogenetics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology and Taxon.
