Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Gene and Genome. His Evolutionary biology research also works with subjects such as

  • Haliotis asinina and Divergent evolution most often made with reference to Paleontology,
  • Phylogenetic tree which is related to area like Echinoderm. His studies deal with areas such as Evolutionary developmental biology, Conserved sequence, Comparative genomics and Multicellular organism as well as Phylogenetics.

His work in the fields of Gene, such as Gene family, Transcription factor, Regulation of gene expression and Long non-coding RNA, overlaps with other areas such as Cell type. His Genome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Vertebrate, Signal transduction and Gene silencing. The Amphimedon queenslandica study combines topics in areas such as Most recent common ancestor, Anatomy, Genomics, Choanoflagellate and Eumetazoa.

His most cited work include:

  • Conservation of the sequence and temporal expression of let-7 heterochronic regulatory RNA (2008 citations)
  • The draft genome of Ciona intestinalis : insights into chordate and vertebrate origins (1409 citations)
  • The Amphimedon queenslandica genome and the evolution of animal complexity (778 citations)

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

Bernard M. Degnan mainly investigates Gene, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Cell biology and Genetics. The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Zoology and Haliotis asinina, Abalone. Bernard M. Degnan combines subjects such as Paleontology, Echinoderm, Vertebrate, Molecular evolution and Phylum with his study of Evolutionary biology.

Bernard M. Degnan has included themes like Veliger, Herdmania momus and Anatomy in his Cell biology study. His study involves Genome, Amphimedon queenslandica, Phylogenetics and Homeobox, a branch of Genetics. Bernard M. Degnan interconnects Choanoflagellate, Most recent common ancestor and Amphimedon in the investigation of issues within Amphimedon queenslandica.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gene (25.35%)
  • Ecology (25.00%)
  • Evolutionary biology (23.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (23.26%)
  • Amphimedon queenslandica (21.53%)
  • Gene (25.35%)

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

Bernard M. Degnan spends much of his time researching Evolutionary biology, Amphimedon queenslandica, Gene, Genome and Sponge. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gene family, Most recent common ancestor, Biomineralization, Multicellular organism and Placozoa. His Amphimedon queenslandica research includes elements of Transcriptome, Piwi-interacting RNA, Amphimedon and Cell biology.

His Gene research is under the purview of Genetics. His Genetics study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Larva. His Genome research incorporates elements of Convergent evolution, Sister group, Methylation and CpG site.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The mid-developmental transition and the evolution of animal body plans (157 citations)
  • The origin of Metazoa: a unicellular perspective (132 citations)
  • Early metazoan cell type diversity and the evolution of multicellular gene regulation (109 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Gene, Evolutionary biology, Multicellular organism, Genome and Genetics. His is involved in several facets of Gene study, as is seen by his studies on Gene regulatory network and Phylum. His study explores the link between Evolutionary biology and topics such as Mantle that cross with problems in Zoology, Cambrian explosion, Biomineralization and Mollusca.

The various areas that Bernard M. Degnan examines in his Multicellular organism study include Amphimedon queenslandica and Cell biology. His Genome research is mostly focused on the topic Gene family. His Regulation of gene expression research is multidisciplinary, relying on both RNA, Promoter, Transcription factor and Placozoa.
