Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Mutation

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Gene, Genome, Cancer research and DNA methylation. His research in Human genome, Genomics, Whole genome sequencing, Mutation and Haplotype are components of Genetics. His Gene study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Adenocarcinoma.

His Genome research incorporates themes from Sequence analysis, Cancer genome, Drosophila melanogaster, Computational biology and Human genetics. David A. Wheeler has included themes like Cancer, CDKN2A, KRAS, microRNA and Lung cancer in his Cancer research study. His DNA methylation research includes themes of BAP1, Somatic cell, Clear cell renal cell carcinoma, Serous fluid and Exome.

His most cited work include:

  • Comprehensive genomic characterization defines human glioblastoma genes and core pathways (5484 citations)
  • A haplotype map of the human genome (5144 citations)
  • Comprehensive molecular characterization of human colon and rectal cancer (5012 citations)

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

David A. Wheeler focuses on Genetics, Cancer research, Gene, Exome sequencing and Cancer. All of his Genetics and Genome, Human genome, Whole genome sequencing, Germline mutation and Exome investigations are sub-components of the entire Genetics study. His research investigates the connection between Genome and topics such as Computational biology that intersect with problems in Cancer genome.

His Cancer research research integrates issues from DNA methylation, Mutation, KRAS, microRNA and CDKN2A. Gene and Molecular biology are commonly linked in his work. His studies deal with areas such as Lung cancer, Oncology, Pathology and Bioinformatics as well as Cancer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (41.77%)
  • Cancer research (26.22%)
  • Gene (24.70%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cancer research (26.22%)
  • Gene (24.70%)
  • Cancer (17.07%)

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

His main research concerns Cancer research, Gene, Cancer, Exome sequencing and Oncology. His Cancer research research incorporates themes from Immune checkpoint, DNA methylation, Immune system, microRNA and Colorectal cancer. His Gene study is concerned with Genetics in general.

His Cancer research incorporates elements of Clinical study design and Genome. His Exome sequencing study incorporates themes from Germline mutation and Computational biology. His study in Oncology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Primary Brain Tumors, Psychological repression, DREAM complex, Internal medicine and Meningioma.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Comprehensive Characterization of Cancer Driver Genes and Mutations (867 citations)
  • The repertoire of mutational signatures in human cancer (454 citations)
  • Genomic and Functional Approaches to Understanding Cancer Aneuploidy (296 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Mutation

David A. Wheeler spends much of his time researching Cancer research, Computational biology, Gene, Genome and microRNA. David A. Wheeler interconnects DNA methylation, Transcription factor, Oncogene, Chromatin and Loss of heterozygosity in the investigation of issues within Cancer research. His Computational biology research includes elements of Exome sequencing, Exome, Cancer, Genomics and Cancer genome.

His Gene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transforming growth factor beta and Signal transduction. His Genome study deals with the bigger picture of Genetics. His work deals with themes such as RNA, Chromosomal Deletion, Tumor suppressor gene and Mutant, which intersect with microRNA.
