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

Jef D. Boeke mainly focuses on Computational biology, Genetics, Gene, Genome and Cell biology. His Computational biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Human genome, Transcription factor, Yeast genome, Transposable element and DNA sequencing. Jef D. Boeke combines subjects such as DNA damage and Yeast with his study of Gene.

His Genome research incorporates elements of Locus, CRISPR and Synthetic biology. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Germline, Chromatin, Retrotransposon, Histone and DNA replication. His Saccharomyces cerevisiae research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plasmid, Function, Metabolic pathway, Ploidy and Transplantation.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Design of a synthetic yeast genome (269 citations)
  • Design of a synthetic yeast genome (269 citations)
  • L1 drives IFN in senescent cells and promotes age-associated inflammation (248 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genome, Genetics, Gene, Computational biology and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. His research integrates issues of Locus and Synthetic biology in his study of Genome. Chromosome, Synthetic genomics, Phenotype, Interspersed repeat and Homologous recombination are among the areas of Genetics where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.

His Computational biology study combines topics in areas such as Transcription factor, Schizosaccharomyces and Alternative splicing, Exon. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae study combines topics in areas such as Glycolysis, Psychological repression and Ploidy. Jef D. Boeke focuses mostly in the field of Transposable element, narrowing it down to topics relating to RNA and, in certain cases, DNA replication.
