John A.L. Armour

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Gene
• Genetics
• Mutation

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Gene, Genome, Allele and Copy-number variation. Genomic DNA, Locus, Angelman syndrome, Tandem repeat and Minisatellite are among the areas of Genetics where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His study explores the link between Minisatellite and topics such as Genetic variation that cross with problems in Genetic marker.

His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology and Psoriasis as well as Gene. His Allele research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Immunohistochemistry, Tissue sections, Pathology, Breast tumours and Retinoblastoma gene. His Copy-number variation study combines topics in areas such as Gene cluster, Genome-wide association study and Polymerase chain reaction.

His most cited work include:

• Psoriasis is associated with increased beta-defensin genomic copy number. (545 citations)
• Complex gene conversion events in germline mutation at human minisatellites (465 citations)
• Deletion of the late cornified envelope LCE3B and LCE3C genes as a susceptibility factor for psoriasis (427 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Minisatellite, Locus, Allele and Copy-number variation. His study in Gene, Minisatellite Repeat, Human genome, Genetic marker and Tandem repeat falls within the category of Genetics. John A.L. Armour works mostly in the field of Minisatellite, limiting it down to concerns involving Evolutionary biology and, occasionally, Genetic variation.

His research in Locus intersects with topics in genomic DNA and Molecular biology. His research investigates the connection with Allele and areas like Germline mutation which intersect with concerns in Germline. His study in Copy-number variation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Polymerase chain reaction, Disease, Immunology and Haplotype.

He most often published in these fields:

• Genetics (81.56%)
• Minisatellite (26.95%)
• Locus (26.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2019)?

• Genetics (81.56%)
• Copy-number variation (24.82%)
• Gene (20.57%)

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

John A.L. Armour mainly focuses on Genetics, Copy-number variation, Gene, Haplotype and Locus. In his study, he carries out multidisciplinary Genetics and Amylase research. John A.L. Armour interconnects Comparative genomic hybridization, Disease, Genetic association and Polymerase chain reaction in the investigation of issues within Copy-number variation.

His work on Gene cluster and Gene duplication is typically connected to HRAS and MSH2 as part of general Gene study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Haplotype research integrates issues from Evolutionary biology, Structural variation, Computational biology and Human genome. His Locus research incorporates themes from Fixation, Low copy number, Allele frequency and Genetic variation.

Between 2009 and 2019, his most popular works were:

• Multilocus genetic models of handedness closely resemble single-locus models in explaining family data and are compatible with genome-wide association studies (108 citations)
• α-Cardiac myosin heavy chain (MYH6) mutations affecting myofibril formation are associated with congenital heart defects (96 citations)
• Meta-analysis confirms the LCE3C_LCE3B deletion as a risk factor for psoriasis in several ethnic groups and finds interaction with HLA-Cw6. (82 citations)

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

• Gene
• Mutation
• Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Gene, Human genome, Copy-number variation and Amylase. As part of his studies on Genetics, he often connects relevant areas like Odds ratio. In general Gene study, his work on Mutation, Mutant and Point mutation often relates to the realm of Myofibril assembly and MYH6, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His studies in Human genome integrate themes in fields like Polymorphism, CCL3L1, Disease, Human genetics and Polymerase chain reaction. Many of his studies on Copy-number variation involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Haplotype. He has researched Locus in several fields, including Young adult, Meta-analysis, Epistasis and Immunology.
