Boris Vyskot is affiliated with the Czech Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic. Their research primarily focuses on areas within Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Subfields of study include Molecular Biology, Plant Science, Genetics, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics.

The scientific work centers around several main topics, such as Plant Reproductive Biology, Genetic and Clinical Aspects of Sex Determination and Chromosomal Abnormalities, Chromosomal and Genetic Variations, Plant Virus Research Studies, Genomics and Chromatin Dynamics, Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies, and Plant Taxonomy and Phylogenetics.

The recent publications provide insights into plant sex chromosomes and evolutionary genetics. Notable papers include:

  • "Sex-chrom, a database on plant sex chromosomes", 2020, New Phytologist
  • "Fundamentally different repetitive element composition of sex chromosomes in Rumex acetosa", 2020, Annals of Botany
  • "Histone post-translational modifications in Silene latifolia X and Y chromosomes suggest a mammal-like dosage compensation system", 2020, Plant Science
  • "Genetic and functional analysis of DD44, a sex-linked gene from the dioecious plant Silene latifolia, provides clues to early events in sex chromosome evolution.", 2020, UNC Libraries
  • "The sex chromosomes of Silene latifolia revisited and revised.", 2020, UNC Libraries

Co-authorship frequently occurs with several researchers, including Roman Hobza, Sarah R. Grant, Richard C. Moore, Sabine Lebel-Hardenack, and Jiří Široký.

Publication venues frequently include UNC Libraries, New Phytologist, Annals of Botany, Plant Science, and Frontiers in Plant Science.
