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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Marinus J. M. Smulders mostly deals with Genetics, Genome, Gluten, Biotechnology and Synteny. His work on Genetics is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Population structure. The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology and DNA sequencing in addition to Genome.

The Gluten study which covers Coeliac disease that intersects with CRISPR, Gliadin and Mutation breeding. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Synteny, concentrating on Cultivar and frequently concerns with Genotype. His studies deal with areas such as Microsatellite, Allele, Juglans and Locus as well as Genetic diversity.
