1999 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genome
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Genome, Gene, Genomics and Transposase. His study looks at the relationship between Genetics and topics such as Botany, which overlap with Melanogaster. His work on Whole genome sequencing, Gene family and Genome project is typically connected to Gene regulatory network as part of general Genome study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Gene research incorporates themes from Zootermopsis nevadensis and Hymenoptera, Caste determination. His biological study deals with issues like Honey bee, which deal with fields such as Evolutionary biology. His Transposase research incorporates elements of Mutagenesis and Transposition.

His most cited work include:

  • Insights into social insects from the genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera (1472 citations)
  • A stable genomic source of P element transposase in Drosophila melanogaster. (1190 citations)
  • The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum. (1039 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Genome, Gene, Evolutionary biology and Gene family. His Transposable element, Transposase, Drosophila melanogaster, Pseudogene and Phylogenetic tree study are his primary interests in Genetics. While the research belongs to areas of Transposable element, Hugh M. Robertson spends his time largely on the problem of Horizontal gene transfer, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Host.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecology, Insect and DNA sequencing in addition to Genome. His work in the fields of Gene, such as Gene duplication, Chromosome and Caenorhabditis elegans, intersects with other areas such as Sequence assembly. His Evolutionary biology research includes themes of Botany, Phylogenetics, Molecular evolution, Lineage and Adaptation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (53.14%)
  • Genome (49.28%)
  • Gene (32.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genome (49.28%)
  • Evolutionary biology (30.92%)
  • Gene (32.85%)

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

Hugh M. Robertson mainly focuses on Genome, Evolutionary biology, Gene, Gene family and Ecology. His Genome study combines topics in areas such as Phylogenetics and Computational biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pest control, Insect, Lineage and Adaptation.

His Phylogenetic tree and Odorant binding study in the realm of Gene interacts with subjects such as Sequence assembly and Apis florea. His Gene family research is included under the broader classification of Genetics. His Genetics research integrates issues from Dengue virus, Dengue fever and Aedes aegypti.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Improved reference genome of Aedes aegypti informs arbovirus vector control (205 citations)
  • A model species for agricultural pest genomics: The genome of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) (114 citations)
  • Hemimetabolous genomes reveal molecular basis of termite eusociality. (102 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genome
  • DNA

Hugh M. Robertson mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Genome, Comparative genomics, Gene family and Dengue fever. His Evolutionary biology study incorporates themes from Adaptation, German cockroach, Cockroach and Molecular evolution. His study on Genome is covered under Gene.

His study in Gene family is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Arthropod and Chemical ecology. The concepts of his Dengue fever study are interwoven with issues in Genetics, Reference genome and Aedes aegypti. His Whole genome sequencing course of study focuses on Zoology and Insect.
