Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Temperature-dependent sex determination, Genetics and Zoology. James J. Bull has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Phylogenetics, Selection and Phylogenetic tree. His Phylogenetics research includes themes of Repeatability and Statistics.

His studies in Phylogenetic tree integrate themes in fields like Taxon and Biological evolution. The various areas that he examines in his Ecology study include Natural selection, Cline and Mechanism. The study incorporates disciplines such as Environmental sex determination, Hormone, Internal medicine, Sex Determination Analysis and Sexual differentiation in addition to Temperature-dependent sex determination.

His most cited work include:

  • An Empirical Test of Bootstrapping as a Method for Assessing Confidence in Phylogenetic Analysis (3396 citations)
  • Evolution of sex determining mechanisms (1137 citations)
  • Partitioning and combining data in phylogenetic analysis (839 citations)

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

James J. Bull mainly investigates Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Bacteriophage, Zoology and Adaptation. James J. Bull combines subjects such as Mechanism, Phylogenetics, Selection and Phylogenetic tree with his study of Evolutionary biology. His research on Phylogenetic tree often connects related areas such as Taxon.

His studies deal with areas such as Virus, Virology, Host and Microbiology as well as Bacteriophage. His work deals with themes such as Temperature-dependent sex determination, Environmental sex determination, Sex ratio and Ecology, which intersect with Zoology. The Temperature-dependent sex determination study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Sex Determination Analysis and Sexual differentiation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (33.50%)
  • Evolutionary biology (21.84%)
  • Bacteriophage (16.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Bacteriophage (16.99%)
  • Computational biology (7.28%)
  • Gene drive (3.40%)

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

James J. Bull focuses on Bacteriophage, Computational biology, Gene drive, Gene and Virology. His Bacteriophage study incorporates themes from Chronic infection, Virus, Microbiology and Bacteria. His Computational biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phenotype, Transcription, Mutant and Genetically engineered.

While the research belongs to areas of Gene drive, James J. Bull spends his time largely on the problem of Vector, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Evolutionary biology, Disease and Population structure. His Gene study is concerned with Genetics in general. Many of his research projects under Genetics are closely connected to Ultraviolet light with Ultraviolet light, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Synergy and Order Effects of Antibiotics and Phages in Killing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms. (127 citations)
  • Phage inhibit pathogen dissemination by targeting bacterial migrants in a chronic infection model (40 citations)
  • Transmissible Viral Vaccines (33 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Phage therapy, Bacteria, Microbiology, Bacteriophage and Virology. His Phage therapy research is included under the broader classification of Genetics. His research in Bacteria intersects with topics in Bacterial virus, Antibiotics and In vivo.

His In vivo course of study focuses on Bacterial capsule and Escherichia coli and In vitro. He interconnects Mutation rate, Experimental evolution and Biofilm in the investigation of issues within Bacteriophage. His Virology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Acquired immune system and Viral evolution.
