Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Linkage disequilibrium and Locus. His Genetics study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Body mass index. His work carried out in the field of Genome-wide association study brings together such families of science as Odds ratio, Cancer, Internal medicine, Case-control study and Genetic architecture.

His studies in Single-nucleotide polymorphism integrate themes in fields like Vitamin D and neurology, Vitamin D-binding protein and Vitamin D binding. His research in Linkage disequilibrium intersects with topics in MSMB and Prostate cancer. As a part of the same scientific family, Kevin B. Jacobs mostly works in the field of Locus, focusing on Genetic linkage and, on occasion, Chromosome 7.

His most cited work include:

  • Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index (2348 citations)
  • Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height (1614 citations)
  • Six new loci associated with body mass index highlight a neuronal influence on body weight regulation (1434 citations)

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

Kevin B. Jacobs spends much of his time researching Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association and Locus. His research investigates the connection between Genetics and topics such as Body mass index that intersect with problems in Obesity and SH2B1. His Genome-wide association study study incorporates themes from Genetic epidemiology, International HapMap Project, Internal medicine, Allele and Imputation.

His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Genetic marker, Prostate cancer and Oncology. His Genetic association research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetic predisposition, Genetic variation, Allele frequency, Genotyping and Computational biology. The various areas that Kevin B. Jacobs examines in his Locus study include Chromosome and Gene mapping.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (94.30%)
  • Genome-wide association study (79.11%)
  • Single-nucleotide polymorphism (69.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2018)?

  • Genetics (94.30%)
  • Genome-wide association study (79.11%)
  • Genetic association (43.67%)

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

Kevin B. Jacobs mostly deals with Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Genetic association, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Locus. His Genetics research includes themes of Body mass index and Meta-analysis. The concepts of his Genome-wide association study study are interwoven with issues in Quantitative trait locus, Linkage disequilibrium, Allele and Genetic variation.

Kevin B. Jacobs has researched Genetic association in several fields, including Chromosome, Autosome, Human genome and Medical genetics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Internal medicine, Case-control study and Oncology in addition to Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His research integrates issues of Odds ratio, SNP, Pancreatic cancer, Cohort study and Disease in his study of Oncology.

Between 2012 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height (1407 citations)
  • Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology (781 citations)
  • Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies 11 new loci for anthropometric traits and provides insights into genetic architecture (460 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Linkage disequilibrium, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genetic association. His work in Genetics is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Body mass index. His Genome-wide association study research includes elements of Quantitative trait locus and Genetic architecture.

His Linkage disequilibrium research incorporates themes from B-cell lymphoma, Bone cancer and Leukemia, Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Much of his study explores Single-nucleotide polymorphism relationship to Locus. He has included themes like Odds ratio, Internal medicine, Case-control study, SNP and Oncology in his Locus study.
