What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Francois Balloux spends much of his time researching Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Population genetics, Genetic variation and Genetic diversity.
His research in Genetics intersects with topics in Biological dispersal, Human settlement and Genetic data.
As a part of the same scientific family, Francois Balloux mostly works in the field of Evolutionary biology, focusing on Genome and, on occasion, Mutation and Convergent evolution.
He interconnects Genetic marker, Computational biology, Model organism and Genotype in the investigation of issues within Population genetics.
His research integrates issues of Ecology, Genetic differentiation, Mutation rate and Allele frequency in his study of Genetic variation.
His Genetic diversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Recent African origin of modern humans, Allele, Locus and Sexual reproduction.
His most cited work include:
- Discriminant analysis of principal components: a new method for the analysis of genetically structured populations (2498 citations)
- Pandemic Potential of a Strain of Influenza A (H1N1) : Early Findings (1546 citations)
- The estimation of population differentiation with microsatellite markers. (930 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Francois Balloux focuses on Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Genetic variation, Genetic diversity and Phylogenetic tree.
Francois Balloux focuses mostly in the field of Genetics, narrowing it down to topics relating to Population genetics and, in certain cases, Sexual reproduction.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including F-statistics, Effective population size, Clade, Malaria and Biological dispersal.
Francois Balloux combines subjects such as Lineage and Ecology with his study of Biological dispersal.
His Genetic diversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sputum, Molecular epidemiology and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
His Phylogenetic tree research integrates issues from Range, Phylogenetics and Mitochondrial DNA.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Genome, Phylogenetic tree, Genetics and Clade.
His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Lineage, Pathogen, Effective population size, Malaria and Antibiotic resistance.
His Genome study combines topics in areas such as Genetic variation and Genetic diversity.
In his study, Restriction fragment length polymorphism, Molecular epidemiology and Filobasidiella is strongly linked to Population genetics, which falls under the umbrella field of Phylogenetic tree.
His Genetics study typically links adjacent topics like Outbreak.
His studies deal with areas such as Population size, Biological dispersal, Gonorrhea and Neisseria gonorrhoeae as well as Clade.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Emergence of genomic diversity and recurrent mutations in SARS-CoV-2. (335 citations)
- No evidence for increased transmissibility from recurrent mutations in SARS-CoV-2. (89 citations)
- Modelling microbiome recovery after antibiotics using a stability landscape framework. (37 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Phylogenetic tree, Genome, Evolutionary biology and Coronavirus.
