Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Augustine Kong focuses on Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Allele and Internal medicine. Genetic association, Quantitative trait locus, Allele frequency, Genetic architecture and Gene are among the areas of Genetics where the researcher is concentrating her efforts. Augustine Kong focuses mostly in the field of Genetic architecture, narrowing it down to topics relating to Evolutionary biology and, in certain cases, Missing heritability problem and Common disease-common variant.

Her study in Genome-wide association study is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both CDKAL1, Locus, Heritability, Type 2 diabetes and SLC30A8. Her studies in Single-nucleotide polymorphism integrate themes in fields like Autism, Osteoporosis and Copy-number variation. Augustine Kong has researched Allele in several fields, including Genome and Immunology.

Her most cited work include:

  • Finding the missing heritability of complex diseases. (6217 citations)
  • Variant of transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene confers risk of type 2 diabetes. (1823 citations)
  • A genome-wide association search for type 2 diabetes genes in African Americans. (1727 citations)

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

Augustine Kong spends much of her time researching Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Internal medicine and Allele. Her work in Gene, Allele frequency, Locus, Genetic linkage and Genome are all subfields of Genetics research. Her Locus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetic determinism and Gene mapping.

Her Genome-wide association study study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as SNP, Bioinformatics, Genetic association, Type 2 diabetes and Genetic architecture. Her Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Endocrinology, Oncology and Cardiology. Her Allele research integrates issues from Genetic variation, Genotype and Candidate gene.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (76.56%)
  • Genome-wide association study (34.07%)
  • Single-nucleotide polymorphism (19.41%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Genetics (76.56%)
  • Genome-wide association study (34.07%)
  • Educational attainment (15.02%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Educational attainment, Genome and Allele. Her Genotype, Sequence, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Gene and Mutation rate study are her primary interests in Genetics. Her research in Genome-wide association study intersects with topics in Evolutionary biology, SNP, Bioinformatics, Phenotype and Behavioural genetics.

Within one scientific family, she focuses on topics pertaining to Gastroenterology under Bioinformatics, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Internal medicine. Her Genome study combines topics in areas such as Computational biology, Genetic association and Genetic variation. Her studies deal with areas such as Sick sinus syndrome, Cardiac arrhythmia, Atrial fibrillation, Cardiology and Familial atrial fibrillation as well as Allele.

Between 2014 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Genome-wide association study identifies 74 loci associated with educational attainment (825 citations)
  • Large-scale whole-genome sequencing of the Icelandic population (472 citations)
  • An Expanded Genome-Wide Association Study of Type 2 Diabetes in Europeans (374 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Her main research concerns Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Educational attainment, Genome and INDEL Mutation. Her Genetics study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Affect. Her research integrates issues of SNP, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture, Behavioural genetics and Glucose homeostasis in her study of Genome-wide association study.

The Quantitative trait locus study combines topics in areas such as Imputation, Haplotype, Bioinformatics and 1000 Genomes Project. Her Genome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Annotation, Bonferroni correction and Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association. Augustine Kong has included themes like Whole genome sequencing, Mutation rate and Human genetics in her Single-nucleotide polymorphism study.
