Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Laurent Duret mostly deals with Genetics, Genome, Gene, Molecular evolution and Gene conversion. His is doing research in Human genome, Codon usage bias, Locus, Phylogenetics and Intron, both of which are found in Genetics. His Genome research includes elements of Gene duplication and Recombination.

His work carried out in the field of Molecular evolution brings together such families of science as GenBank, Whole genome sequencing and Transposable element. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Natural selection, Fixation and Mutation. His studies in Natural selection integrate themes in fields like Evolutionary biology and Mutation.

His most cited work include:

  • Insights into social insects from the genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera (1472 citations)
  • Expression pattern and, surprisingly, gene length shape codon usage in Caenorhabditis, Drosophila, and Arabidopsis (705 citations)
  • Global trends of whole-genome duplications revealed by the ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia (639 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Genome, Gene, Gene conversion and Evolutionary biology. His works in Human genome, Recombination, Codon usage bias, Intron and GC-content are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. The various areas that Laurent Duret examines in his Genome study include Computational biology, Selection and CpG site.

As part of his studies on Gene, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Molecular biology. His Gene conversion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Homologous recombination, Natural selection, Mutation, Allele frequency and Fixation. He studied Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetic tree that intersect with Phylogenetics and Comparative genomics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (64.07%)
  • Genome (38.92%)
  • Gene (30.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Genome (38.92%)
  • Genetics (64.07%)
  • Evolutionary biology (17.37%)

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

Laurent Duret mainly focuses on Genome, Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Gene conversion and Effective population size. His primary area of study in Genome is in the field of Genomics. Gene, Recombination, Gene duplication, Macronucleus and Mating type are the subjects of his Genetics studies.

His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Clade, Phylogenetic tree, Population genomics, Genetic diversity and Synonymous substitution. His Gene conversion study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Codon usage bias and Homologous recombination. His study on Effective population size also encompasses disciplines like

  • Natural selection, which have a strong connection to Nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution and Molecular evolution,
  • Allele frequency which intersects with area such as Human genome,
  • Population genetics together with Evolutionary dynamics.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • GC-Content evolution in bacterial genomes: the biased gene conversion hypothesis expands. (133 citations)
  • Quantification of GC-biased gene conversion in the human genome (90 citations)
  • PRDM9 Methyltransferase Activity Is Essential for Meiotic DNA Double-Strand Break Formation at Its Binding Sites (51 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Laurent Duret mainly investigates Genetics, Effective population size, Gene conversion, Codon usage bias and Natural selection. His studies link Selection with Genetics. His Effective population size study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Human genome, Recombination, Allele frequency and CpG site.

His Gene conversion research incorporates elements of Genetic drift, Molecular evolution, Human evolutionary genetics and Bacterial genome size. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Codon usage bias, concentrating on Genetic recombination and frequently concerns with Homologous recombination. His research integrates issues of Phylogenetics and Life history theory in his study of Genome.
