Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Genome

His main research concerns Genetics, Virology, Virus, Phylogenetics and Phylogenetic tree. His work in Virology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Immunology. His Virus research focuses on subjects like Outbreak, which are linked to Disease.

His Phylogenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Genome, DNA virus and Genetic variation. He works mostly in the field of Genome, limiting it down to topics relating to Betacoronavirus and, in certain cases, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, as a part of the same area of interest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Virus classification, Biological dispersal, Sequence analysis and Ecology.

His most cited work include:

  • Genomic characterisation and epidemiology of 2019 novel coronavirus: implications for virus origins and receptor binding. (5012 citations)
  • A new coronavirus associated with human respiratory disease in China. (4224 citations)
  • A new coronavirus associated with human respiratory disease in China. (4224 citations)

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

Edward C. Holmes mostly deals with Virology, Virus, Genetics, Phylogenetics and Phylogenetic tree. Many of his studies on Virology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Reassortment. Edward C. Holmes interconnects Lineage, Transmission, Molecular epidemiology, Host and Pandemic in the investigation of issues within Virus.

As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Genetics, concentrating on Genetic diversity and intersecting with Genetic variation. His Phylogenetics study frequently links to other fields, such as Evolutionary biology. The various areas that Edward C. Holmes examines in his Phylogenetic tree study include Zoology and Sequence analysis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (61.62%)
  • Virus (48.60%)
  • Genetics (49.00%)

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

  • Virus (48.60%)
  • Virology (61.62%)
  • Evolutionary biology (22.24%)

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

Edward C. Holmes focuses on Virus, Virology, Evolutionary biology, Zoology and Phylogenetic tree. The subject of his Virus research is within the realm of Genetics. His studies deal with areas such as Respiratory disease, Transcriptome and Respiratory system as well as Virology.

His research integrates issues of Vertebrate, Lineage, Genomics, Virus classification and Phylogenetic diversity in his study of Evolutionary biology. His Zoology course of study focuses on Human virome and RNA virus, Reoviridae and Viral evolution. His work carried out in the field of Coronavirus brings together such families of science as Transmission, Betacoronavirus and Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genomic characterisation and epidemiology of 2019 novel coronavirus: implications for virus origins and receptor binding. (5012 citations)
  • A new coronavirus associated with human respiratory disease in China. (4224 citations)
  • A new coronavirus associated with human respiratory disease in China. (4224 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Genome

His primary areas of study are Coronavirus, Virus, Evolutionary biology, Genome and Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. His Coronavirus research incorporates elements of Outbreak, Virology, Microbiology, Betacoronavirus and Intermediate host. His Virology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Respiratory disease and RNA virus.

His Virus research includes themes of RNA, Viral evolution and Human virome, Metagenomics. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Virus classification, Lineage and Genomics. His study with Genome involves better knowledge in Genetics.
