Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genus
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Zoology, Genetics, Shrimp, Genome and Phylogenetics. His studies in Zoology integrate themes in fields like Paraphyly and Monophyly. His Genetics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cynoscion acoupa and Sciaenidae.

Ka Hou Chu has researched Shrimp in several fields, including Complementary DNA, Shellfish allergy and Allergen. His work deals with themes such as Penaeus, Mitochondrial DNA, Hox gene and Phylogenetic tree, which intersect with Phylogenetics. His Phylogenetic tree research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Evolutionary biology, Chloroplast and Genus.

His most cited work include:

  • IgE reactivity against a cross-reactive allergen in crustacea and mollusca : Evidence for tropomyosin as the common allergen (211 citations)
  • Cloning, expression, and primary structure of Metapenaeus ensis tropomyosin, the major heat-stable shrimp allergen (208 citations)
  • Phylogeny of Decapoda using two nuclear protein-coding genes: origin and evolution of the Reptantia. (155 citations)

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

Ka Hou Chu mainly focuses on Zoology, Ecology, Shrimp, Decapoda and Phylogenetic tree. His research integrates issues of Taxon, Monophyly and Molecular phylogenetics in his study of Zoology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Species complex, Phylogeography, Population genetics and Genetic diversity in addition to Ecology.

His work on Metapenaeus ensis as part of general Shrimp study is frequently linked to Tropomyosin, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. The Phylogenetic tree study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetics. As a part of the same scientific study, Ka Hou Chu usually deals with the Phylogenetics, concentrating on Genome and frequently concerns with Computational biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (25.50%)
  • Ecology (23.90%)
  • Shrimp (17.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Gene (10.76%)
  • Zoology (25.50%)
  • Genome (12.35%)

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

His main research concerns Gene, Zoology, Genome, Immunology and Evolutionary biology. His study with Gene involves better knowledge in Genetics. His studies deal with areas such as Adaptation and Mitochondrial DNA as well as Zoology.

His research investigates the link between Mitochondrial DNA and topics such as Gene rearrangement that cross with problems in Phylogenetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chthamalus, Hox gene and Molecular phylogenetics, Lineage, Phylogenetic tree. In his study, Moulting is inextricably linked to Shrimp, which falls within the broad field of Mantis shrimp.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Penaeid shrimp genome provides insights into benthic adaptation and frequent molting (139 citations)
  • Community Structure, Dynamics and Interactions of Bacteria, Archaea and Fungi in Subtropical Coastal Wetland Sediments. (21 citations)
  • Immunotherapy of Food Allergy: a Comprehensive Review. (21 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genus
  • DNA

Ka Hou Chu mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Immunology, Allergy, Shrimp and Gene. Ka Hou Chu has included themes like Chthamalus, Molecular phylogenetics, Antennatus, Polyphyly and Mitochondrial DNA in his Evolutionary biology study. Many of his research projects under Immunology are closely connected to Clinical diagnosis and Complex algorithm with Clinical diagnosis and Complex algorithm, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His Shrimp research includes elements of Ecdysteroid, Biochemistry, Adaptation, Cherry shrimp and Crustacean. His research in Gene intersects with topics in Zoology, Snail and Jellyfish. Ka Hou Chu performs multidisciplinary study in Zoology and Marisa cornuarietis in his work.
