Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Leif Andersson is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

In his work, Leif Andersson performs multidisciplinary research in Genetics and Genome. He performs integrative study on Genome and Allele. While working on this project, he studies both Allele and Locus (genetics). His work blends Gene and Locus (genetics) studies together. In his works, he performs multidisciplinary study on Evolutionary biology and Zoology. In his works, Leif Andersson undertakes multidisciplinary study on Zoology and Ecology. He brings together Ecology and Evolutionary biology to produce work in his papers. He regularly links together related areas like Genetic diversity in his Demography studies. The study of Genetic diversity is intertwined with the study of Population in a number of ways.

His most cited work include:

  • Whole-genome resequencing reveals loci under selection during chicken domestication (861 citations)
  • A regulatory mutation in IGF2 causes a major QTL effect on muscle growth in the pig (817 citations)
  • Worldwide Phylogeography of Wild Boar Reveals Multiple Centers of Pig Domestication (707 citations)

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

Leif Andersson performs integrative Genetics and Genotype research in his work. In his study, Leif Andersson carries out multidisciplinary Genotype and Allele research. He merges many fields, such as Allele and Locus (genetics), in his writings. Leif Andersson performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Gene and Quantitative trait locus via his papers. Leif Andersson performs multidisciplinary study on Evolutionary biology and Genetics in his works. Population is frequently linked to Demography in his study. His research on Demography frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Population. Molecular biology and Gene are two areas of study in which Leif Andersson engages in interdisciplinary work.

Leif Andersson most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (89.39%)
  • Gene (88.64%)
  • Allele (33.33%)

In recent works Leif Andersson was focusing on the following fields of study:

In his research, Leif Andersson performs multidisciplinary study on Genetics and Molecular biology. Leif Andersson merges Molecular biology with Genetics in his research. Leif Andersson conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Evolutionary biology and Zoology through his research. He performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Ecology and Evolutionary biology via his papers. The study of Adaptation (eye) is intertwined with the study of Neuroscience in a number of ways. His work in Neuroscience is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Adaptation (eye). His research on Demography frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Population. His work on Population is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Demography. He integrates Allele and Haplotype in his research.

Between 2018 and 2022, his most popular works were:

  • A chromosome-level assembly of the Atlantic herring genome—detection of a supergene and other signals of selection (69 citations)
  • Genetics of adaptation in modern chicken (62 citations)
  • Recurrent convergent evolution at amino acid residue 261 in fish rhodopsin (44 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

His Fixation (population genetics) research incorporates themes from Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genotype and Adaptation (eye), Neuroscience. He integrates many fields in his works, including Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Nucleotide diversity. Leif Andersson conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Genotype and Candidate gene through his research. Leif Andersson incorporates Candidate gene and Allele in his studies. In his papers, Leif Andersson integrates diverse fields, such as Allele and Haplotype. His research on Haplotype often connects related areas such as Nucleotide diversity. While working in this field, he studies both Adaptation (eye) and Rhodopsin. In his research, Leif Andersson performs multidisciplinary study on Rhodopsin and Retinal. His Biochemistry research extends to Retinal, which is thematically connected.
