Overview

John E. Johnson is affiliated with the Scripps Research Institute in the United States. Their research spans several fields, including Environmental Science, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Within these broader areas, subfields of study include Ecology, Plant Science, Molecular Biology, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Infectious Diseases.

The main topics covered in their work involve bacteriophages and microbial interactions, plant virus research studies, genomics and phylogenetic studies, viral gastroenteritis research and epidemiology, evolution and genetic dynamics, hepatitis C virus research, and photonic and optical devices.

Johnson has contributed to a range of recent publications. Significant papers include:

  • VipERdb v3.0: a structure-based data analytics platform for viral capsids (2020), published in Nucleic Acids Research
  • Icosahedral virus structures and the protein data bank (2021), published in Journal of Biological Chemistry
  • ViReMa: a virus recombination mapper of next-generation sequencing data characterizes diverse recombinant viral nucleic acids (2023), published in GigaScience
  • Performance and Reliability of Advanced CW Lasers for Silicon Photonics Applications (2022), published at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) 2022
  • Plant-expressed virus-like particles reveal the intricate maturation process of a eukaryotic virus (2021), published in Communications Biology

The scientist frequently collaborates with other researchers including Roger Castells-Graells, George P. Lomonossoff, Stephanea Sotcheff, Yiyang Zhou, and Bruce E. Torbett.

Johnson's publications have appeared in several venues with multiple contributions in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Nucleic Acids Research, Journal of Biological Chemistry, GigaScience, and the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) 2022.
