Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Genetics, Gene, Drosophila melanogaster and Enzyme. As a member of one scientific family, John G. Oakeshott mostly works in the field of Biochemistry, focusing on Lucilia cuprina and, on occasion, Malathion and Diazinon. His studies deal with areas such as Xenobiotic and Cytochrome P450 as well as Genetics.

In Drosophila melanogaster, John G. Oakeshott works on issues like Evolutionary biology, which are connected to Gene rearrangement. His Enzyme study combines topics in areas such as Directed evolution, Pesticide, Pesticide residue and Biotechnology. His research in the fields of Whole genome sequencing and Genomics overlaps with other disciplines such as Nasonia vitripennis.

His most cited work include:

  • Insights into social insects from the genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera (1472 citations)
  • Functional and evolutionary insights from the genomes of three parasitoid Nasonia species. (705 citations)
  • A deficit of detoxification enzymes: pesticide sensitivity and environmental response in the honeybee (499 citations)

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

John G. Oakeshott mainly focuses on Genetics, Biochemistry, Enzyme, Gene and Drosophila melanogaster. Genetics and Population genetics are frequently intertwined in his study. His research in Biochemistry focuses on subjects like Molecular biology, which are connected to Molecular cloning and Complementary DNA.

The concepts of his Enzyme study are interwoven with issues in Bioremediation, Bacteria and Mutant. His Gene study typically links adjacent topics like Botany. His research investigates the connection between Drosophila melanogaster and topics such as Evolutionary biology that intersect with issues in Genomics and Insect.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (35.61%)
  • Biochemistry (33.45%)
  • Enzyme (24.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Biochemistry (33.45%)
  • Enzyme (24.82%)
  • Evolutionary biology (10.79%)

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

John G. Oakeshott mostly deals with Biochemistry, Enzyme, Evolutionary biology, Genetics and Gene. John G. Oakeshott has included themes like Pyrethroid and Bacteria in his Biochemistry study. John G. Oakeshott focuses mostly in the field of Enzyme, narrowing it down to matters related to Stereochemistry and, in some cases, Hexachlorocyclohexane.

The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Eusociality, Insect, Phylogenetics and Genomics. As part of his studies on Genetics, John G. Oakeshott often connects relevant subjects like Lindane. A large part of his Gene studies is devoted to Gene family.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization (232 citations)
  • Evolutionary principles and their practical application (188 citations)
  • Biological invasions, climate change and genomics (144 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

John G. Oakeshott focuses on Biochemistry, Enzyme, Insect, Microbiology and Bacteria. His Enzyme research includes elements of Melanogaster and Drosophila melanogaster. In his work, Gene is strongly intertwined with Cytochrome, which is a subfield of Melanogaster.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology, Lepidoptera genitalia, Xenobiotic and Host in addition to Insect. Mutation rate is a subfield of Genetics that he studies. His Genetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hybrid and Genetic diversity.
