Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Law
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Internal medicine and Genetic association. His Genome-wide association study study combines topics in areas such as Bioinformatics, Medical genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture and Type 2 diabetes. The study of Genetics is intertwined with the study of Body mass index in a number of ways.

His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research includes elements of Meta-analysis, Framingham Risk Score and Polymorphism. James F. Wilson has included themes like Endocrinology and Cardiology in his Internal medicine study. James F. Wilson focuses mostly in the field of Genetic association, narrowing it down to matters related to Blood pressure and, in some cases, Disease.

His most cited work include:

  • Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids (2804 citations)
  • Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index (2348 citations)
  • Bureaucracy: What Government Agencies Do and Why They Do It (2322 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Genetic association, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Internal medicine. His studies in Gene, Locus, Allele, SNP and Quantitative trait locus are all subfields of Genetics research. His research integrates issues of Bioinformatics, Medical genetics, Meta-analysis, Heritability and Genetic architecture in his study of Genome-wide association study.

His Genetic association study frequently links to other fields, such as Candidate gene. His research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Endocrinology and Cardiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (37.75%)
  • Genome-wide association study (36.62%)
  • Genetic association (19.25%)

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

  • Genome-wide association study (36.62%)
  • Genetics (37.75%)
  • Genetic association (19.25%)

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

James F. Wilson mainly focuses on Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Genetic association, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Mendelian randomization. His work carried out in the field of Genome-wide association study brings together such families of science as Bioinformatics, Medical genetics, Disease, Heritability and Genetic architecture. The concepts of his Genetic association study are interwoven with issues in Meta-analysis and Computational biology.

His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research incorporates elements of Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Allele and Locus. He works mostly in the field of Internal medicine, limiting it down to topics relating to Cardiology and, in certain cases, PR interval. His Mendelian randomization study also includes fields such as

  • Confounding which intersects with area such as Food group, Causal inference and Food choice,
  • Blood pressure and related Type 2 diabetes.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Gene discovery and polygenic prediction from a genome-wide association study of educational attainment in 1.1 million individuals (770 citations)
  • Genetic analysis of over 1 million people identifies 535 new loci associated with blood pressure traits. (284 citations)
  • Genetic analysis of over 1 million people identifies 535 new loci associated with blood pressure traits. (284 citations)

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

  • Law
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

James F. Wilson mostly deals with Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association and Medical genetics. The various areas that James F. Wilson examines in his Genome-wide association study study include SNP, Mendelian randomization, Bioinformatics, Disease and Genetic architecture. His work is connected to Quantitative trait locus, Phenotype, Allele, Gene and Heritability, as a part of Genetics.

His study in Single-nucleotide polymorphism is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Coronary artery disease, Pleiotropy, Retina and Locus. He works mostly in the field of Genetic association, limiting it down to topics relating to Meta-analysis and, in certain cases, Case-control study and Multifactorial Inheritance, as a part of the same area of interest. His work deals with themes such as Carrier protein, Plasma levels, Hemorrhagic disorder and Coagulation, which intersect with Medical genetics.
