Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genome
  • Genetics

Christopher D. Town spends much of his time researching Genetics, Genome, Gene, Medicago truncatula and Gene expression. His Genetics research incorporates elements of Brassica and Gossypium spp. His Genome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sequence analysis and DNA sequencing.

His Gene research includes themes of Domestication and Glucosinolate. He has included themes like Lotus japonicus and Sinorhizobium meliloti in his Medicago truncatula study. His Gene expression study combines topics in areas such as Fungus, Shoot, Botany, Signal transduction and Regulation of gene expression.

His most cited work include:

  • Early allopolyploid evolution in the post-Neolithic Brassica napus oilseed genome (1119 citations)
  • The Medicago genome provides insight into the evolution of rhizobial symbioses (939 citations)
  • Improving the Arabidopsis genome annotation using maximal transcript alignment assemblies (882 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Genome, Gene, Genomics and Expressed sequence tag. Genetics and Medicago truncatula are two areas of study in which Christopher D. Town engages in interdisciplinary work. His research integrates issues of Lotus japonicus and Sinorhizobium meliloti in his study of Medicago truncatula.

Christopher D. Town interconnects Microsatellite and Phylogenetics in the investigation of issues within Genome. His Genomics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, Conserved sequence, UniGene and Brassica rapa. His Expressed sequence tag research integrates issues from Asparagales, Gossypium, cDNA library, DNA microarray and Putative gene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (72.82%)
  • Genome (57.28%)
  • Gene (45.63%)

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

  • Genetics (72.82%)
  • Gene (45.63%)
  • Genome (57.28%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Gene, Genome, Genomics and Computational biology. Christopher D. Town has researched Genetics in several fields, including Intraspecific competition and Salix purpurea. His Genome research focuses on Whole genome sequencing, Polyploid and Comparative genomics.

His study in Genomics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phylogenetics and Sequence analysis. His research in Computational biology intersects with topics in Resource and Metabolomics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Optical mapping and DNA sequencing in addition to Sequence assembly.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Araport11: a complete reannotation of the Arabidopsis thaliana reference genome. (358 citations)
  • The pangenome of an agronomically important crop plant Brassica oleracea (173 citations)
  • Araport: the Arabidopsis Information Portal (151 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genome
  • Genetics

Christopher D. Town mostly deals with Gene, Genetics, Genome, Whole genome sequencing and Genomics. Intron, Small RNA, Small nuclear RNA, RNA splicing and Antisense RNA are the subjects of his Gene studies. He regularly links together related areas like Botany in his Genetics studies.

The concepts of his Genome study are interwoven with issues in Genotyping and Saccharum officinarum. His Whole genome sequencing research incorporates themes from Annotation, Medicago sativa and Transposable element. His Genomics research includes elements of Phylogenetics, Clade, Phylogenetic tree, Virology and Sequence analysis.
