Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Fernando de la Cruz mainly investigates Plasmid, Genetics, Bacterial conjugation, Gene and Relaxase. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Molecular biology and Pathogenicity island. Horizontal gene transfer, Phylogenetics, Genome, Phylogenetic tree and Antibiotic resistance are the primary areas of interest in his Genetics study.

His studies deal with areas such as Secretion and Pilus as well as Bacterial conjugation. Fernando de la Cruz works mostly in the field of Gene, limiting it down to topics relating to Bacteria and, in certain cases, Linoleic acid, Bioluminescence, Genetic algorithm and Fractionation, as a part of the same area of interest. In his work, Minor groove, Recombinase, Site-specific recombinase technology, DNA Nucleotidyltransferases and Active site is strongly intertwined with Origin of transfer, which is a subfield of Relaxase.

His most cited work include:

  • Mobility of Plasmids (571 citations)
  • Horizontal gene transfer and the origin of species: lessons from bacteria (442 citations)
  • The diversity of conjugative relaxases and its application in plasmid classification (348 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Plasmid, Genetics, Biochemistry, Bacterial conjugation and Gene. His Plasmid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Molecular biology, Horizontal gene transfer and Escherichia coli. He focuses mostly in the field of Genetics, narrowing it down to topics relating to Microbiology and, in certain cases, Molecular epidemiology and Enterobacteriaceae.

His studies examine the connections between Bacterial conjugation and genetics, as well as such issues in Computational biology, with regards to Metagenomics. His Relaxase study combines topics in areas such as Cleavage, DNA supercoil, Stereochemistry, Origin of transfer and Oligonucleotide. His Relaxosome study incorporates themes from Genetic transfer and Helicase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Plasmid (60.19%)
  • Genetics (45.63%)
  • Biochemistry (30.58%)

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

  • Plasmid (60.19%)
  • Gene (26.21%)
  • Genetics (45.63%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Plasmid, Gene, Genetics, Horizontal gene transfer and Relaxase. His Plasmid research integrates issues from Computational biology, Antibiotic resistance and Metagenomics. His work on Escherichia coli and Heterologous is typically connected to Inflammatory bowel disease as part of general Gene study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Genetics study focuses on Genome in particular. His Horizontal gene transfer research includes themes of Electrophoretic mobility shift assay, Replicon, Bacterial genetics, Origin of transfer and Bacterial genome size. His Relaxase study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Multiprotein complex and Cell biology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • PLACNETw: a web-based tool for plasmid reconstruction from bacterial genomes. (57 citations)
  • In-depth resistome analysis by targeted metagenomics (54 citations)
  • In-depth resistome analysis by targeted metagenomics (54 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Plasmid, Genetics, Horizontal gene transfer, Metagenomics and Gene. Within one scientific family, Fernando de la Cruz focuses on topics pertaining to Antibiotic resistance under Plasmid, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Microbiome. His Horizontal gene transfer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bacterial genetics and Mobile genetic elements.

His Bacterial genetics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bacteriophage, Plasmidome, Pilus, Virulence and Phylogenetics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Proteome, Genome, Computational biology and Comparative genomics in addition to Metagenomics. His studies in Bacterial conjugation integrate themes in fields like Annotation, Protein Annotation and Bacteria.
