Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Genetics, Karyotype, Chromosome, Molecular biology and Y chromosome are his primary areas of study. His study in Gene, X chromosome, Genome, Chromosome 21 and Chromosome 22 is done as part of Genetics. His studies deal with areas such as Metaphase, Hybridization probe, Phylogenetic tree, Chromosomal translocation and Fluorescence in situ hybridization as well as Karyotype.

He usually deals with Chromosome and limits it to topics linked to Human genetics and Chromosome painting. The study incorporates disciplines such as Chromosome microdissection, Locus and Cytogenetics in addition to Molecular biology. The concepts of his Y chromosome study are interwoven with issues in Chromosome 4 and Phylogenetics.

His most cited work include:

  • Multicolor Spectral Karyotyping of Human Chromosomes (1627 citations)
  • Clinical Features and Natural History of von Hippel-Lindau Disease (675 citations)
  • Translocation of c- abl oncogene correlates with the presence of a Philadelphia chromosome in chronic myelocytic leukaemia (615 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Karyotype, Chromosome, Evolutionary biology and Molecular biology. Gene, Gene mapping, X chromosome, Locus and Genome are among the areas of Genetics where Malcolm A. Ferguson-Smith concentrates his study. His Karyotype study incorporates themes from Zoology, Ploidy, Phylogenetic tree and Cytogenetics.

Malcolm A. Ferguson-Smith has researched Chromosome in several fields, including Homologous chromosome and Chromosomal translocation. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Leucopternis albicollis, Chromosome painting and Phylogenetics. In his research on the topic of Molecular biology, Chromosome 19 is strongly related with Chromosome 21.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (56.40%)
  • Karyotype (34.30%)
  • Chromosome (31.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (17.36%)
  • Karyotype (34.30%)
  • Chromosome (31.61%)

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

Malcolm A. Ferguson-Smith mainly investigates Evolutionary biology, Karyotype, Chromosome, Genetics and Microchromosome. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Leucopternis albicollis, Chromosome painting, Species complex, Phylogenetic tree and Hylaeamys megacephalus. The Karyotype study combines topics in areas such as Phylogenetics, Ploidy and Cytogenetics.

His Chromosome research also works with subjects such as

  • X chromosome most often made with reference to Chromosomal translocation,
  • Anolis which intersects with area such as Synaptonemal complex. His study in Y chromosome, Genome and Phenotype falls under the purview of Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Charadriiformes, Chromosomal inversion, Myiopsitta and Psittacidae.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A time- and cost-effective strategy to sequence mammalian Y Chromosomes: an application to the de novo assembly of gorilla Y (69 citations)
  • Contrasting origin of B chromosomes in two cervids (Siberian roe deer and grey brocket deer) unravelled by chromosome-specific DNA sequencing. (38 citations)
  • Reconstruction of the diapsid ancestral genome permits chromosome evolution tracing in avian and non-avian dinosaurs. (34 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

His primary areas of study are Karyotype, Evolutionary biology, Chromosome, Genetics and Microchromosome. His study with Karyotype involves better knowledge in Gene. His Evolutionary biology research includes themes of Species complex, Phylogenetic tree, Hylaeamys megacephalus, Oryzomyini and Centromere.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Homologous chromosome, Salamander and Chromosomal translocation. Malcolm A. Ferguson-Smith integrates several fields in his works, including Genetics and Context. His Microchromosome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as DNA sequencing and Anolis.
