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 Genetics, Genome, Computational biology, Phylogenetics and Gene. His work in Genetics is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Natural selection. His Genome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Population genetics, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Locus.

Jeffrey P. Townsend focuses mostly in the field of Computational biology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Fungal genetics and, in certain cases, Replication, Microarray analysis techniques, Missing data, Bayesian probability and Bayes' theorem. Within one scientific family, Jeffrey P. Townsend focuses on topics pertaining to Phylogenetic tree under Phylogenetics, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Evolutionary biology and Zoology. His Gene research incorporates themes from Carbon source and Genetic divergence.

His most cited work include:

  • A comprehensive phylogeny of birds (Aves) using targeted next-generation DNA sequencing (835 citations)
  • Horizontal gene transfer, genome innovation and evolution (759 citations)
  • The Ascomycota Tree of Life: A Phylum-wide Phylogeny Clarifies the Origin and Evolution of Fundamental Reproductive and Ecological Traits (462 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Gene, Phylogenetic tree, Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetics. His Genetics study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Computational biology. Jeffrey P. Townsend focuses mostly in the field of Gene, narrowing it down to matters related to Cancer and, in some cases, Germline mutation and Somatic cell.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Taxon and Inference. His studies deal with areas such as Taxonomic rank, Phylogenomics, Clade and Selection as well as Evolutionary biology. His Phylogenetics study typically links adjacent topics like Zoology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (39.42%)
  • Gene (26.92%)
  • Phylogenetic tree (15.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cancer (13.46%)
  • Genetics (39.42%)
  • Gene (26.92%)

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

Jeffrey P. Townsend focuses on Cancer, Genetics, Gene, Cancer research and Evolutionary biology. He has included themes like Tumor microenvironment and TIGIT, Immunotherapy in his Gene study. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Convergent evolution, Clade, Phylogenetic tree, Taxon and Multicellular organism.

Jeffrey P. Townsend has researched Phylogenetic tree in several fields, including Natural selection, Genome, Model organism and Homology. His studies in Taxon integrate themes in fields like Phylogenetic nomenclature, Phylogenomics, Phylogenetics and Inference. His Phylogenetics research incorporates elements of Helotiales and Locus.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A multigene phylogeny toward a new phylogenetic classification of Leotiomycetes (39 citations)
  • APOBEC-induced mutations and their cancer effect size in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (33 citations)
  • Optimal Rates for Phylogenetic Inference and Experimental Design in the Era of Genome-Scale Data Sets. (28 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Quarantine, Transmission, Cancer and Somatic cell. His study in Genetics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vegetative reproduction, Germination and Spore. Jeffrey P. Townsend combines subjects such as 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak and Pandemic, Coronavirus disease 2019, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 with his study of Quarantine.

His research in Cancer intersects with topics in Malignant transformation, Germline mutation, Transformation and Germline. His study on Somatic cell is covered under Gene. APOBEC and Exome are the subjects of his Gene studies.
