Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Anopheles gambiae, Genetics, Gene, Innate immune system and Immune system. His study in Anopheles gambiae is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both RNA silencing and Virology. Genetics connects with themes related to Anopheles in his study.

His study in the fields of Genome, Globin, Reverse transcriptase and Restriction enzyme under the domain of Gene overlaps with other disciplines such as DNA polymerase I. His Genome research includes themes of Genetic variation and Sequence analysis. His Innate immune system research integrates issues from Drosophila melanogaster and Effector.

His most cited work include:

  • Phylogenetic Perspectives in Innate Immunity (2159 citations)
  • The Genome Sequence of the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae (1783 citations)
  • Determination of nucleic acid sequence homologies and relative concentrations by a dot hybridization procedure (1117 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Anopheles gambiae, Genetics, Gene, Anopheles and Virology. His Anopheles gambiae research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vector, Innate immune system, Immune system, Microbiology and Plasmodium berghei. His studies in Genetics integrate themes in fields like Evolutionary biology and Population genetics.

His study looks at the relationship between Gene and topics such as Molecular biology, which overlap with Nucleic acid thermodynamics, Nucleic acid sequence, Biochemistry, Nucleic acid analogue and Nucleic acid. His Virology study combines topics in areas such as Plasmodium, Malaria, Apicomplexa and Gene knockdown. His research in Genome intersects with topics in Computational biology, Sequence analysis and Drosophila.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anopheles gambiae (50.75%)
  • Genetics (43.28%)
  • Gene (28.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2015)?

  • Anopheles gambiae (50.75%)
  • Genetics (43.28%)
  • Anopheles (25.37%)

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

Fotis C. Kafatos spends much of his time researching Anopheles gambiae, Genetics, Anopheles, Plasmodium berghei and Virology. Fotis C. Kafatos combines subjects such as Vector, Innate immune system, Immune system, Microbiology and RNA interference with his study of Anopheles gambiae. As part of his studies on Genetics, he often connects relevant subjects like Population genetics.

His studies examine the connections between Anopheles and genetics, as well as such issues in Computational biology, with regards to Arthropod Vector, Sequence analysis and Ecology. He interconnects Plasmodium, Malaria and Apicomplexa in the investigation of issues within Virology. His work in the fields of Phylogenetics and Drosophila overlaps with other areas such as Ecological niche.

Between 2006 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Evolutionary Dynamics of Immune-Related Genes and Pathways in Disease-Vector Mosquitoes (474 citations)
  • Highly evolvable malaria vectors: The genomes of 16 Anopheles mosquitoes (389 citations)
  • Widespread divergence between incipient Anopheles gambiae species revealed by whole genome sequences (236 citations)
