Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Genome

John H. Werren mostly deals with Genetics, Wolbachia, Cytoplasmic incompatibility, Nasonia and Evolutionary biology. His Wolbachia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Zoology, Botany, Arthropod and Phylogenetic tree. His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Insect, Feminization and Parthenogenesis.

His Cytoplasmic incompatibility research includes elements of Sexual reproduction, Intracellular parasite, Thelytoky, Parasitoid wasp and Sequence analysis. His Nasonia research incorporates themes from Nasonia vitripennis, Lineage, Species complex, Sterility and Ribosomal DNA. His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Ecology, Taxonomy, Natural selection, Genome and Sex ratio.

His most cited work include:

  • Wolbachia: master manipulators of invertebrate biology (1755 citations)
  • BIOLOGY OF WOLBACHIA (1300 citations)
  • How many species are infected with Wolbachia?--A statistical analysis of current data. (904 citations)

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

John H. Werren focuses on Genetics, Nasonia, Nasonia vitripennis, Wolbachia and Genome. His studies in Nasonia integrate themes in fields like Quantitative trait locus, Nuclear gene, Sarcophaga bullata and Introgression. He usually deals with Nasonia vitripennis and limits it to topics linked to Venom and Cell biology.

His Wolbachia research integrates issues from Zoology, Phylogenetics and Botany. He has researched Zoology in several fields, including Insect, Parthenogenesis, Arthropod and Sex ratio. His Genome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology and Computational biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (49.08%)
  • Nasonia (34.07%)
  • Nasonia vitripennis (32.60%)

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

  • Genome (26.01%)
  • Evolutionary biology (24.91%)
  • Gene (18.68%)

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

His main research concerns Genome, Evolutionary biology, Gene, Nasonia vitripennis and Genetics. John H. Werren combines subjects such as PEST analysis, Thrips and Phylogenetic tree with his study of Genome. The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Phylogenetics, Comparative genomics, Allele and Hox gene.

His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Flesh fly and Diapause. His studies deal with areas such as Parasitoid wasp, Nasonia and Venom as well as Nasonia vitripennis. His work on Wolbachia, Horizontal gene transfer and Neofunctionalization as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Acyrthosiphon pisum, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The house spider genome reveals an ancient whole-genome duplication during arachnid evolution (212 citations)
  • Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales: update 2017 (135 citations)
  • The Evolution of Venom by Co-option of Single-Copy Genes (60 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Genome

John H. Werren spends much of his time researching Genome, Evolutionary biology, Genome evolution, Comparative genomics and Insect. His Genome study incorporates themes from Hemiptera, Ecology, Lygaeidae, Phylogenetic tree and Mitochondrion. His study explores the link between Evolutionary biology and topics such as Phylogenetics that cross with problems in Taxonomy and Genus.

His Genome evolution research focuses on subjects like Parasitoid, which are linked to Ecological speciation and Wolbachia. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Integrated pest management, Habitat, Asexual reproduction, Trichogrammatidae and Trichogramma. His Gene expression study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics.
