Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic linkage, Internal medicine and Locus. His is doing research in Genome-wide association study, Gene, Genetic association, Genetic determinism and Single-nucleotide polymorphism, both of which are found in Genetics. His research integrates issues of Pedigree chart, Bivariate analysis, Statistics, Heritability and Linkage in his study of Quantitative trait locus.

His work in Genetic linkage addresses issues such as Genotype, which are connected to fields such as Genetic analysis. His Internal medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endocrinology and Allele. His Locus research includes themes of Diabetes mellitus genetics, Meta-analysis, FTO gene, Gene mapping and Alzheimer's disease.

His most cited work include:

  • Multipoint Quantitative-Trait Linkage Analysis in General Pedigrees (2858 citations)
  • Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height (1407 citations)
  • Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology (781 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Internal medicine, Genetic linkage and Endocrinology. His Genetics research focuses on Gene, Locus, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genotype. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research incorporates themes from Genetic variation and Allele.

John Blangero works mostly in the field of Quantitative trait locus, limiting it down to topics relating to Heritability and, in certain cases, Genetic correlation, as a part of the same area of interest. His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Diabetes mellitus and Type 2 diabetes. The Genetic linkage study combines topics in areas such as Genetic marker, Chromosome and Microsatellite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (48.97%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (26.60%)
  • Internal medicine (19.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Genetics (48.97%)
  • Genome-wide association study (14.33%)
  • Computational biology (6.73%)

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

John Blangero spends much of his time researching Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Computational biology, Internal medicine and Heritability. Minor allele frequency, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic variation, Genetic association and Gene are the subjects of his Genetics studies. His study in Genome-wide association study is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quantitative trait locus and Bioinformatics.

His Computational biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genome, Whole genome sequencing, Inference, Pedigree chart and Mixed model. His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Endocrinology, Mexican americans and Oncology. His research investigates the connection between Heritability and topics such as Genetic linkage that intersect with issues in Genotype.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genome-wide physical activity interactions in adiposity. A meta-analysis of 200,452 adults (211 citations)
  • Novel genetic loci associated with hippocampal volume (160 citations)
  • Sequencing of 53,831 diverse genomes from the NHLBI TOPMed Program (143 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Genetic variation, Locus and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. As a part of the same scientific study, John Blangero usually deals with the Genetics, concentrating on Body mass index and frequently concerns with Carotenoid. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Evolutionary biology, Medical genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic association and Imputation.

His Locus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endocrinology, Germline, Meta-analysis, Internal medicine and Genotype. His Endocrinology course of study focuses on Genome wide linkage and Genetic linkage. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research incorporates themes from Exome and DISC1.
