Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
Genome
DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Genome, Phylogenetic tree and Phylogenetics. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Gavialis, Crocodile, American alligator, Alligator and Synteny. His work is connected to Genomics, Comparative genomics and Genome evolution, as a part of Genome.

His work deals with themes such as Zoology and Molecular evolution, which intersect with Genomics. His study in the field of Clade and Neoaves also crosses realms of Columbea and Passerea. David A. Ray has included themes like Human population genetics, Repeated sequence, Retrotransposon and Cebidae in his Phylogenetics study.

His most cited work include:

Whole-genome analyses resolve early branches in the tree of life of modern birds (1174 citations)
Whole-genome analyses resolve early branches in the tree of life of modern birds (1174 citations)
Butterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species (875 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genome, Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Phylogenetics and Phylogenetic tree. His Genome study is concerned with Gene in general. His Evolutionary biology research incorporates themes from Crocodile, Crocodylus, Synteny and Clade.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Crocodylus, Zoology are connected with Amniote and other disciplines. As part of his studies on Genetics, he often connects relevant subjects like Computational biology. His Phylogenetic tree research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Human population genetics and Nuclear gene, Mitochondrial DNA.

He most often published in these fields:

Genome (83.46%)
Evolutionary biology (55.91%)
Genetics (60.63%)

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

Evolutionary biology (55.91%)
Genome (83.46%)
Gene (25.98%)

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

Evolutionary biology, Genome, Gene, Transposable element and Phylogenetic tree are his primary areas of study. His studies in Evolutionary biology integrate themes in fields like Myotis myotis, Phylogenetics, Clade and Retrotransposon. His work in the fields of Phylogenetics, such as Coalescent theory and Adaptive radiation, overlaps with other areas such as Acrosome assembly.

His study in Genome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Crocodile, Crocodylus and Phenotype. David A. Ray works mostly in the field of Gene, limiting it down to concerns involving Longevity and, occasionally, Acquired immune system, Gene family, DNA repair, Immunity and Immune system. His specific area of interest is Phylogenetic tree, where he studies Laurasiatheria.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Six reference-quality genomes reveal evolution of bat adaptations (37 citations)
A comparative genomics multitool for scientific discovery and conservation (20 citations)
True Homoplasy of Retrotransposon Insertions in Primates. (14 citations)
