Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genetics

Christopher A. Walsh mostly deals with Genetics, Cerebral cortex, Neuroscience, Cell biology and Autism. His study looks at the intersection of Genetics and topics like Autism spectrum disorder with Spectrum disorder. His study in Cerebral cortex is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Progenitor cell, Neocortex, Central nervous system, Anatomy and Cortex.

His research investigates the connection between Neuroscience and topics such as Regulation of gene expression that intersect with issues in Cerebrum and Homeobox. His studies examine the connections between Cell biology and genetics, as well as such issues in FLNA, with regards to Polymicrogyria. His Autism research incorporates elements of Exome sequencing, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Allele.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs (1570 citations)
  • Synaptic, transcriptional and chromatin genes disrupted in autism (1544 citations)
  • Synaptic, transcriptional and chromatin genes disrupted in autism (1544 citations)

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

Christopher A. Walsh mostly deals with Genetics, Neuroscience, Cerebral cortex, Cell biology and Mutation. His study in Gene, Locus, Somatic cell, Microcephaly and Phenotype is done as part of Genetics. The Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Reelin and Lissencephaly.

Christopher A. Walsh has included themes like Neocortex, Central nervous system, Neuron and Anatomy in his Cerebral cortex study. His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Centrosome and Filamin. The concepts of his Mutation study are interwoven with issues in Autism spectrum disorder and Pathology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (65.14%)
  • Neuroscience (33.39%)
  • Cerebral cortex (24.06%)

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

  • Genetics (65.14%)
  • Somatic cell (19.97%)
  • Germline mutation (15.88%)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Somatic cell, Germline mutation, Neuroscience and Gene. His Genetics study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Autism spectrum disorder. His Somatic cell research integrates issues from Lineage, Genomics, Disease, DNA repair and DNA sequencing.

Christopher A. Walsh combines subjects such as Bioinformatics, Germline, Prefrontal cortex, Sanger sequencing and Computational biology with his study of Germline mutation. Within one scientific family, Christopher A. Walsh focuses on topics pertaining to Cell under Neuroscience, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Progenitor. Christopher A. Walsh works mostly in the field of Gene, limiting it down to topics relating to Cerebral cortex and, in certain cases, Polymicrogyria, Gene expression, Pathology and Cortical dysplasia, as a part of the same area of interest.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Large-Scale Exome Sequencing Study Implicates Both Developmental and Functional Changes in the Neurobiology of Autism (373 citations)
  • Meta-analysis of GWAS of over 16,000 individuals with autism spectrum disorder highlights a novel locus at 10q24.32 and a significant overlap with schizophrenia (292 citations)
  • Meta-analysis of GWAS of over 16,000 individuals with autism spectrum disorder highlights a novel locus at 10q24.32 and a significant overlap with schizophrenia (292 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genetics

Christopher A. Walsh mainly investigates Genetics, Somatic cell, Gene, Autism spectrum disorder and Germline mutation. His study in Genetics concentrates on Human genome, Copy-number variation, Genomics, Exome sequencing and Intellectual disability. His research integrates issues of Neocortex and Molecular neuroscience in his study of Gene.

His Autism spectrum disorder study combines topics in areas such as Mutation and Spectrum disorder. His Germline mutation research incorporates themes from Endocrinology, Mutation rate, Human brain, DNA repair and Computational biology. As a part of the same scientific family, Christopher A. Walsh mostly works in the field of Human brain, focusing on Somatic mosaicism and, on occasion, Neuroscience.
