Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Deborah Charlesworth mostly deals with Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Inbreeding, Inbreeding depression and Outcrossing. Her Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Background selection, Genetic diversity, Balancing selection, Human evolutionary genetics and Neutral mutation. Her work focuses on many connections between Inbreeding and other disciplines, such as Genetic variation, that overlap with her field of interest in Genetic variability.

Her work deals with themes such as Dioecy, Selfing, Genetic load and Outbreeding depression, which intersect with Inbreeding depression. Her research investigates the connection with Outcrossing and areas like Mating system which intersect with concerns in Genome evolution and Genetic equilibrium. Her Genetic purging study deals with Population fragmentation intersecting with Inbred strain.

Her most cited work include:

  • INBREEDING DEPRESSION AND ITS EVOLUTIONARY CONSEQUENCES (2680 citations)
  • Rates of Spontaneous Mutation (1620 citations)
  • The effect of deleterious mutations on neutral molecular variation. (1495 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Gene, Chromosome and Locus. Genetics is represented through her Y chromosome, Allele, Silene latifolia, Genome and Sex linkage research. Her Evolutionary biology research includes themes of Recombination, Genetic diversity, Inbreeding, Outcrossing and Genetic variation.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Selfing and Inbreeding depression in addition to Outcrossing. Her research in Inbreeding depression intersects with topics in Ecology and Outbreeding depression. Her Locus study incorporates themes from Linkage disequilibrium, Haplotype, Population genetics and Arabidopsis lyrata.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (64.94%)
  • Evolutionary biology (41.83%)
  • Gene (27.09%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (41.83%)
  • Chromosome (17.93%)
  • Genetics (64.94%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Evolutionary biology, Chromosome, Genetics, Gene and Guppy. Her Evolutionary biology research incorporates elements of Gene conversion, Recombination, Sex linkage and Natural selection. The Chromosome study combines topics in areas such as Silene, Allele, Evolution of sexual reproduction and Subgenus.

Many of her studies involve connections with topics such as Hybrid and Genetics. Her Gene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary change and Dioecy. In her research on the topic of Locus, Linkage disequilibrium is strongly related with Gene mapping.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The sources of adaptive variation (104 citations)
  • Evolution of recombination rates between sex chromosomes. (58 citations)
  • The importance of the Neutral Theory in 1968 and 50 years on: A response to Kern and Hahn 2018 (53 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Gene, Genome and Chromosome. Her Evolutionary biology research incorporates themes from Natural selection and Biological evolution. Her study in Sex linkage, Pseudoautosomal region, Silene latifolia and Tajima's D are all subfields of Genetics.

As part of one scientific family, Deborah Charlesworth deals mainly with the area of Gene, narrowing it down to issues related to the Sexual dimorphism, and often Sexual conflict. Her Genome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chromosome regions and Locus. Her study in the field of Autosome also crosses realms of Guppy.
