Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Howard Ochman spends much of his time researching Genetics, Gene, Genome, Bacterial genome size and Phylogenetics. His Genetics study incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology and Computational biology. His research on Gene focuses in particular on Codon usage bias.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Genome, Adaptation is strongly linked to Genetic transfer. His Bacterial genome size research focuses on subjects like Genome size, which are linked to DNA, Chromosome and GC-content. His Phylogenetics study combines topics in areas such as Zoology, Gut flora, Hominidae and Phylogenetic tree.

His most cited work include:

  • Lateral gene transfer and the nature of bacterial innovation (2983 citations)
  • Genetic Applications of an Inverse Polymerase Chain Reaction (1733 citations)
  • Sex and virulence in Escherichia coli: an evolutionary perspective (1389 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Genome, Gene, Bacterial genome size and Evolutionary biology. His work in Genome evolution, Escherichia coli, Phylogenetics, Horizontal gene transfer and DNA is related to Genetics. The concepts of his Genome study are interwoven with issues in Genetic drift and Bacteria.

His study looks at the intersection of Gene and topics like Microbiology with Plasmid and Shigella. He interconnects Genome project, Natural selection, Chromosome, Circular bacterial chromosome and Genetic variation in the investigation of issues within Bacterial genome size. His research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Microbiome and Ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (63.35%)
  • Genome (39.27%)
  • Gene (39.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Genetics (63.35%)
  • Genome (39.27%)
  • Gene (39.27%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Genome, Gene, Evolutionary biology and Microbiome. His is involved in several facets of Genetics study, as is seen by his studies on Bacterial genome size, Genome evolution, Transcription, RNA and DNA. His study in the fields of Genome project under the domain of Genome overlaps with other disciplines such as Sequence assembly.

The various areas that Howard Ochman examines in his Gene study include Selection and Bacteria. His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Diversity, Speciation, Prophage and Lysogenic cycle. His studies in Microbiome integrate themes in fields like Taxonomic rank, Ecology, Host and Gut flora.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Enterotypes in the landscape of gut microbial community composition (313 citations)
  • Cospeciation of gut microbiota with hominids (285 citations)
  • Illumina-based analysis of microbial community diversity (257 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

His main research concerns Microbiome, Ecology, Gut flora, Host and Zoology. Howard Ochman has included themes like Symbiosis and Metagenomics in his Microbiome study. His Gut flora research includes themes of Feces and Phylogenetics.

His Zoology research incorporates elements of Taxon, Firmicutes and Phylogenetic tree. As part of his Gene and Genetics and Escherichia coli studies, Howard Ochman is studying Escherichia coli. His Genetics study frequently links to other fields, such as Computational biology.
