Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Genome

John E. Bowers mostly deals with Genetics, Genome, Genomics, Synteny and Gene. His Genetics study incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology and Cultivar. His Genome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quantitative trait locus, Ploidy, Restriction fragment length polymorphism and Locus.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Synteny, Phylogenetics and Phylogenetic tree is strongly linked to Gene duplication. His research in Gene intersects with topics in Carica, Botany and Computational biology. John E. Bowers has researched Botany in several fields, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Sorghum, Sweet sorghum and Genome size.

His most cited work include:

  • The Sorghum bicolor genome and the diversification of grasses (2200 citations)
  • Unravelling angiosperm genome evolution by phylogenetic analysis of chromosomal duplication events (1203 citations)
  • The draft genome of the transgenic tropical fruit tree papaya (Carica papaya Linnaeus) (816 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Genome, Gene, Botany and Gene duplication. His Synteny, Comparative genomics, DNA sequencing, Quantitative trait locus and Phylogenetic tree study are his primary interests in Genetics. His Synteny study which covers Paleopolyploidy that intersects with Gene orders.

John E. Bowers works mostly in the field of Phylogenetic tree, limiting it down to concerns involving Phylogenetics and, occasionally, Comparative biology. His Genome research includes elements of Evolutionary biology, Computational biology and Gene mapping. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Sorghum and Sweet sorghum.

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

John E. Bowers mainly investigates Genetics, Genome, Gene, Sunflower and Helianthus annuus. His Genetics study frequently involves adjacent topics like Genetic diversity. When carried out as part of a general Genome research project, his work on Genomics is frequently linked to work in Sequence assembly, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

John E. Bowers interconnects Genome evolution and Asterids in the investigation of issues within Genomics. His Sunflower research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Map and Genetic variation. The various areas that John E. Bowers examines in his Helianthus annuus study include Evolutionary biology, Association mapping, Helianthus and Candidate gene.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The sunflower genome provides insights into oil metabolism, flowering and Asterid evolution (280 citations)
  • The pineapple genome and the evolution of CAM photosynthesis (266 citations)
  • Allele-defined genome of the autopolyploid sugarcane Saccharum spontaneum L. (139 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genome
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Genetics, Genome, Gene, Genomics and Saccharum spontaneum. John E. Bowers has included themes like Abiotic stress and Ananas bracteatus in his Genome study. His Abiotic stress research includes themes of Genome evolution, Asterids, Genetic diversity, Plant evolution and Helianthus annuus.

Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Evolutionary biology and Helianthus annuus. The Ananas bracteatus study combines topics in areas such as Gene duplication and Neofunctionalization. His studies in Saccharum spontaneum integrate themes in fields like Balancing selection, Ploidy, Polyploid and Saccharum officinarum.
