Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Gene

John C. Fry mainly investigates 16S ribosomal RNA, Ribosomal DNA, Ecology, Ribosomal RNA and Bacteria. His 16S ribosomal RNA study is related to the wider topic of Genetics. His study in the field of Gene also crosses realms of Separate analysis.

His studies deal with areas such as Library, Botany and Polymerase chain reaction as well as Ribosomal DNA. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis and Archaea. A large part of his Bacteria studies is devoted to Soil microbiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Design and Evaluation of Useful Bacterium-Specific PCR Primers That Amplify Genes Coding for Bacterial 16S rRNA (1439 citations)
  • At least 1 in 20 16S rRNA sequence records currently held in public repositories is estimated to contain substantial anomalies (704 citations)
  • New screening software shows that most recent large 16S rRNA gene clone libraries contain chimeras. (641 citations)

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

John C. Fry mainly focuses on Bacteria, Microbiology, Ecology, Plasmid and Genetics. His Bacteria research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Environmental chemistry, Botany, Sediment and Incubation. The Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Genetic transfer, Microorganism, Serratia, Pseudomonas and Soil microbiology.

His Ecology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis. His 16S ribosomal RNA research incorporates themes from Ribosomal DNA, Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Ribosomal RNA and Phylum. John C. Fry studied Ribosomal DNA and Library that intersect with Microbial population biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Bacteria (43.55%)
  • Microbiology (32.26%)
  • Ecology (23.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2014)?

  • Genetics (16.94%)
  • 16S ribosomal RNA (16.13%)
  • Ecology (23.39%)

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

John C. Fry focuses on Genetics, 16S ribosomal RNA, Ecology, Methanogenesis and Gene. To a larger extent, John C. Fry studies Bacteria with the aim of understanding 16S ribosomal RNA. John C. Fry combines subjects such as Isolation and Polymerase chain reaction with his study of Bacteria.

His work deals with themes such as Methanomicrobiales, Microbiology, Archaea, Environmental chemistry and Anaerobic oxidation of methane, which intersect with Methanogenesis. His work in Gene addresses subjects such as DNA, which are connected to disciplines such as Homology, Recombination, Homologous chromosome and Acinetobacter baylyi. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Ribosomal RNA, focusing on Ribosomal DNA and, on occasion, Library and Computational biology.

Between 2004 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • At least 1 in 20 16S rRNA sequence records currently held in public repositories is estimated to contain substantial anomalies (704 citations)
  • New screening software shows that most recent large 16S rRNA gene clone libraries contain chimeras. (641 citations)
  • Deep sub-seafloor prokaryotes stimulated at interfaces over geological time (348 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Gene

16S ribosomal RNA, Ecology, Archaea, Methanogenesis and Ribosomal RNA are his primary areas of study. The subject of his 16S ribosomal RNA research is within the realm of Genetics. His work on Library and Sequence as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Separate analysis, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research in Ecology intersects with topics in Microorganism, Heterotroph, Prokaryote and Microbial metabolism. John C. Fry has included themes like Environmental chemistry, Biogeochemical cycle and Sediment in his Methanogenesis study. Within one scientific family, John C. Fry focuses on topics pertaining to Ribosomal DNA under Ribosomal RNA, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Computational biology.
