Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Biochemistry, Genome, Genetics, Fungal protein and Aspergillus are his primary areas of study. In Biochemistry, David B. Archer works on issues like Biophysics, which are connected to Lysozyme, Serum albumin and Bovine serum albumin. His Genome study combines topics in areas such as Fungal genetics and Aspergillus fumigatus.

His research investigates the connection with Fungal genetics and areas like Whole genome sequencing which intersect with concerns in Phenotype, Sequence analysis and Microbiology. He focuses mostly in the field of Genetics, narrowing it down to matters related to Computational biology and, in some cases, Glycosylation, Translational efficiency, Fungi imperfecti and Heterologous. Aspergillus flavus is closely connected to Aspergillus oryzae in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Aspergillus nidulans.

His most cited work include:

  • Genomic sequence of the pathogenic and allergenic filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus (1147 citations)
  • Sequencing of Aspergillus nidulans and comparative analysis with A. fumigatus and A. oryzae (1106 citations)
  • Genome sequencing and analysis of the versatile cell factory Aspergillus niger CBS 513.88 (979 citations)

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

David B. Archer mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus, Genetics and Gene. His Biochemistry study frequently involves adjacent topics like Microbiology. He has included themes like Sorbic acid, Spore, Glycoside hydrolase, Enzyme and Food spoilage in his Aspergillus niger study.

His Aspergillus research integrates issues from Evolutionary biology and Comparative genomics. His Genetics research incorporates themes from Aspergillus oryzae and Computational biology. His work investigates the relationship between Genome and topics such as Aspergillus fumigatus that intersect with problems in Fungal genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (46.22%)
  • Aspergillus niger (24.37%)
  • Aspergillus (17.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Aspergillus (17.65%)
  • Comparative genomics (11.76%)
  • Evolutionary biology (11.76%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Aspergillus, Comparative genomics, Evolutionary biology, Genus and Biodiversity. His research integrates issues of Aspergillus fumigatus, Food Preservatives, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Bacteria in his study of Aspergillus. David B. Archer is doing genetic studies as part of his Genomics and Genome and Comparative genomics investigations.

His Fungal protein research extends to the thematically linked field of Evolutionary biology.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Comparative genomics reveals high biological diversity and specific adaptations in the industrially and medically important fungal genus Aspergillus (228 citations)
  • Transcriptomic responses of mixed cultures of ascomycete fungi to lignocellulose using dual RNA-seq reveal inter-species antagonism and limited beneficial effects on CAZyme expression (15 citations)
  • Extreme Osmotolerance and Halotolerance in Food-Relevant Yeasts and the Role of Glycerol-Dependent Cell Individuality. (14 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

David B. Archer mostly deals with Biochemistry, Aspergillus niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast and Aspergillus. David B. Archer combines Biochemistry and Water activity in his research. His Aspergillus niger research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biofuel, CAZy, Microbiology and Enzyme.

His Saccharomyces cerevisiae study incorporates themes from Sorbic acid, Aspergillus fumigatus, Trehalose, Glycerol and Sugar. His Yeast research includes elements of Tryptophan, Promoter, Gene and Aromatic amino acids. While the research belongs to areas of Aspergillus, he spends his time largely on the problem of Evolutionary biology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Fungal protein.
