Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Genome, Botany and Genetics. His research integrates issues of Taxonomic rank, Plastid and Maximum likelihood in his study of Phylogenetics. In his research on the topic of Phylogenetic tree, Biological dispersal is strongly related with Ecology.

His Genome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Annotation, Computational biology and DNA, DNA sequencing. His study brings together the fields of DNA barcoding and Botany. De-Zhu Li has included themes like Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Molecular phylogenetics, Polyphyly and Paraphyly in his Monophyly study.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparative analysis of a large dataset indicates that internal transcribed spacer (ITS) should be incorporated into the core barcode for seed plants. (524 citations)
  • International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Shenzhen Code) adopted by the Nineteenth International Botanical Congress Shenzhen, China, July 2017 (465 citations)
  • The science and economics of ex situ plant conservation (278 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics and Ecology. As part of his studies on Botany, De-Zhu Li often connects relevant areas like Molecular phylogenetics. De-Zhu Li combines subjects such as Microsatellite, Gene, Lineage and Genetic diversity with his study of Evolutionary biology.

His research in Phylogenetic tree tackles topics such as Genome which are related to areas like DNA sequencing. His studies in Phylogenetics integrate themes in fields like Plastid and Nuclear gene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Disjunct distribution, Phylogeography and Biological dispersal in addition to Ecology.

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

De-Zhu Li mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Botany, Genome and Phylogenetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Clade, Monophyly, Genetic diversity, Lineage and Plastid. His Phylogenetic tree study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Taxon, Genus and GC-content.

His research in Genome intersects with topics in Reticulate evolution, RNA editing and Computational biology. His Computational biology research incorporates themes from Organelle and Sequence assembly. His Phylogenetics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nuclear gene, Ericaceae and Biogeography.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • PGA: a software package for rapid, accurate, and flexible batch annotation of plastomes (200 citations)
  • Origin of angiosperms and the puzzle of the Jurassic gap (146 citations)
  • GetOrganelle: a fast and versatile toolkit for accurate de novo assembly of organelle genomes (141 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Genome, Phylogenetics and Chloroplast DNA. His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Clade, Genetic diversity, Plastid, Lineage and Genus. His study in the field of Phylogenomics is also linked to topics like Extant taxon.

The Phylogenetic tree study combines topics in areas such as Taxon, Genome evolution and Campanulaceae. De-Zhu Li interconnects Reticulate evolution and Computational biology in the investigation of issues within Genome. His Phylogenetics study incorporates themes from Caprifoliaceae and Dipsacaceae.
