Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria

Dan Knights spends much of his time researching Metagenomics, Microbiome, Human microbiome, Genetics and Computational biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Zoology, Ecology, Disease, Inflammatory bowel disease and Culture independent. The Microbiome study combines topics in areas such as Shotgun sequencing, Feces, Microbiology and Immunology.

When carried out as part of a general Genetics research project, his work on Marker gene, RNA RIBOSOMAL 16S, Sequencing data and Pyrosequencing is frequently linked to work in Rare biosphere, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His work deals with themes such as mothur, Sequence analysis and Genetic Databases, which intersect with Computational biology. As part of one scientific family, Dan Knights deals mainly with the area of Human Microbiome Project, narrowing it down to issues related to the Earth Microbiome Project, and often Genome.

His most cited work include:

  • QIIME allows analysis of high-throughput community sequencing data (20576 citations)
  • Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome (6128 citations)
  • Predictive functional profiling of microbial communities using 16S rRNA marker gene sequences (4407 citations)

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

His main research concerns Microbiome, Metagenomics, Gut flora, Immunology and Genetics. His study in Microbiome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zoology, Obesity and Microbiology. His studies deal with areas such as Ecology, Genome, Computational biology and DNA sequencing as well as Metagenomics.

In his work, Endocrinology is strongly intertwined with Internal medicine, which is a subfield of Gut flora. His Immunology research incorporates elements of Cancer, Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, Antibiotics and Gene expression. His studies in Human microbiome integrate themes in fields like Evolutionary biology, Shotgun sequencing and Earth Microbiome Project.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiome (52.57%)
  • Metagenomics (18.29%)
  • Gut flora (16.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Microbiome (52.57%)
  • Gut flora (16.00%)
  • Internal medicine (13.14%)

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

Dan Knights mainly investigates Microbiome, Gut flora, Internal medicine, Gastroenterology and Obesity. His Microbiome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Zoology, Immunology and Metagenomics. Dan Knights has researched Metagenomics in several fields, including DNA, Data mining, Shotgun and Deep sequencing.

His Gut flora study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lactobacillus, Microbiology and Environmental health. His work in the fields of Internal medicine, such as Transplantation, Acute leukemia and Healthy individuals, intersects with other areas such as Cefepime. His study in the fields of Irritable bowel syndrome under the domain of Gastroenterology overlaps with other disciplines such as In patient.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Reproducible, interactive, scalable and extensible microbiome data science using QIIME 2 (2043 citations)
  • Daily Sampling Reveals Personalized Diet-Microbiome Associations in Humans (156 citations)
  • Author Correction: Reproducible, interactive, scalable and extensible microbiome data science using QIIME 2. (62 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria

His scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiome, Gut flora, Gastroenterology, Internal medicine and Irritable bowel syndrome. Dan Knights is studying Human microbiome, which is a component of Microbiome. His Gut flora study combines topics in areas such as Intestinal absorption, Flora, Inflammatory bowel disease and Lactobacillus.

His Gastroenterology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Akkermansia, Bacteroides, Aspirin, Prevotella and Colorectal cancer. His Irritable bowel syndrome research includes themes of Metabolome, Computational biology, Multi omics and Disease. His research in Dietary history intersects with topics in Human gut, Environmental health and Metagenomics.
