Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Chris Upton mostly deals with Virology, Genetics, Genome, Virus and Gene. His Virology research incorporates elements of Open reading frame, Peptide sequence, Ectromelia virus and Virulence. His work in the fields of Genetics, such as Phylogenetics, African swine fever virus, Whole genome sequencing and DNA sequencing, intersects with other areas such as Nidovirales.

His Genome research includes elements of Phylogenetic tree, Annotation, ORFS, GenBank and Computational biology. His Virus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vaccinia and DNA replication. Chris Upton has researched Gene in several fields, including Transforming growth factor and TGF alpha.

His most cited work include:

  • The Genome Sequence of the SARS-associated Coronavirus (1741 citations)
  • Encoding of a homolog of the IFN-gamma receptor by myxoma virus. (289 citations)
  • A new family of lipolytic enzymes (269 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Genome, Virology, Gene and Virus. His studies deal with areas such as Phylogenetics, Computational biology, DNA sequencing and Phylogenetic tree as well as Genome. Chris Upton combines subjects such as Nucleic acid sequence, Vaccinia, Ectromelia virus, Poxviridae and Virulence with his study of Virology.

His research combines Viral replication and Gene. His Virus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Complementary DNA, Molecular biology and Recombinant virus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Plasmid, DNA, Inverted repeat, Recombinant DNA and Molecular cloning in addition to Molecular biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (47.73%)
  • Genome (43.94%)
  • Virology (43.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Genome (43.94%)
  • Genetics (47.73%)
  • Gene (37.12%)

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

Chris Upton spends much of his time researching Genome, Genetics, Gene, Virology and Orthopoxvirus. His Genome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Avipoxvirus, Phylogenetics, DNA sequencing and Metagenomics. His DNA sequencing study combines topics in areas such as Poxviridae and Polymerase chain reaction.

His Phylogenetic tree, Whole genome sequencing, Vaccinia, African swine fever virus and Virulence investigations are all subjects of Genetics research. His Virus and Viral replication study in the realm of Virology connects with subjects such as Coronavirus disease 2019 and Coronavirus. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Orthopoxvirus, focusing on Clade and, on occasion, Host, Molluscum contagiosum virus and Genome project.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • African swine fever virus replication and genomics (182 citations)
  • Related strains of African swine fever virus with different virulence: genome comparison and analysis (54 citations)
  • Comparative analysis of the complete genome sequences of Kenyan African swine fever virus isolates within p72 genotypes IX and X. (29 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Chris Upton focuses on Genome, Genetics, Virology, DNA sequencing and Phylogenetics. The subject of his Genome research is within the realm of Gene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Viral replication and DNA in addition to Gene.

His work in the fields of Virology, such as Virus, overlaps with other areas such as Smallpox. Chris Upton has researched Virus in several fields, including Vaccinia, Camelpox virus, Poxviridae and Variola virus. His research investigates the connection between Phylogenetics and topics such as African swine fever virus that intersect with issues in ORFS, Whole genome sequencing, Virulence, Attenuated vaccine and Phylogenetic tree.
