1987 - 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
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Major histocompatibility complex, Gene, Antigen and Evolutionary biology. Jan Klein usually deals with Genetics and limits it to topics linked to Gorilla and Effective population size. His Major histocompatibility complex study combines topics in areas such as Human leukocyte antigen, Histocompatibility and Danio.

His research on Gene often connects related areas such as Cell biology. The Antigen study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology and Cytotoxic T cell, In vitro. His Evolutionary biology study incorporates themes from Gene conversion, Anatomy, Phylogenetics, Locus and Cichlid.

His most cited work include:

  • Natural history of the major histocompatibility complex (1207 citations)
  • Biology of the Mouse Histocompatibility-2 Complex (939 citations)
  • On the thymus in the differentiation of "H-2 self-recognition" by T cells: evidence for dual recognition? (743 citations)

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

Jan Klein mainly investigates Genetics, Gene, Major histocompatibility complex, Antigen and Molecular biology. His Genetics study frequently links to related topics such as Evolutionary biology. His studies deal with areas such as Vertebrate, Phylogenetics and Cichlid as well as Evolutionary biology.

His Major histocompatibility complex study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Human leukocyte antigen and Antigen presentation. His Antigen research incorporates elements of Cytotoxic T cell, Antibody and Congenic. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Virology, T cell, Antiserum, Serology and Monoclonal antibody.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (48.63%)
  • Gene (34.43%)
  • Major histocompatibility complex (29.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2016)?

  • Genetics (48.63%)
  • Gene (34.43%)
  • Evolutionary biology (12.02%)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Gene, Evolutionary biology, Major histocompatibility complex and Phylogenetics. His Genetics study often links to related topics such as Lamprey. The study incorporates disciplines such as Vertebrate, Anatomy, Primate, Nuclear gene and Cichlid in addition to Evolutionary biology.

Jan Klein has researched Major histocompatibility complex in several fields, including GEORGE, Human leukocyte antigen, Gene mapping and Genetic linkage. His research investigates the connection between Phylogenetics and topics such as Phylogenetic tree that intersect with issues in Exon, Macaque, Immunoglobulin light chain and Isotype. The various areas that Jan Klein examines in his cDNA library study include Molecular biology, Fowl and Expressed sequence tag.

Between 1999 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • The HLA system. First of two parts. (667 citations)
  • The HLA system. Second of two parts. (330 citations)
  • Nonlinkage of major histocompatibility complex class I and class II loci in bony fishes. (156 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Major histocompatibility complex, Lamprey and Cichlid. His work in Genetics tackles topics such as Gorilla which are related to areas like Primate. His research integrates issues of Vertebrate, Guppy, Phylogenetics, Nuclear gene and Locus in his study of Evolutionary biology.

His Major histocompatibility complex study introduces a deeper knowledge of Immunology. His work in the fields of Immunology, such as Antigen and Rheumatoid arthritis, intersects with other areas such as Coma. His work on Gene family as part of general Gene research is frequently linked to KLRB1, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
