Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Mark Blaxter mainly investigates Genetics, Genome, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics and Computational biology. Genome is a subfield of Gene that he investigates. His studies in Gene integrate themes in fields like Brugia malayi and Parasitology.

His studies deal with areas such as Population genetics, Genetic admixture, Position, Taxonomy and Heliconius as well as Evolutionary biology. His Phylogenetics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Taxon, Ecology, Zoology and Phylogenetic tree. His Computational biology research incorporates elements of RNA-Seq, False positive paradox, Replicate, DNA and Replication.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome-wide genetic marker discovery and genotyping using next-generation sequencing. (1714 citations)
  • A molecular evolutionary framework for the phylum Nematoda (1390 citations)
  • Butterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species (875 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Genome, Gene, Evolutionary biology and Nematode. Mark Blaxter focuses mostly in the field of Genetics, narrowing it down to matters related to Brugia malayi and, in some cases, Molecular biology. His Genome research includes elements of Phylogenetics, Computational biology and DNA sequencing.

His Phylogenetics research includes themes of Zoology, Phylum, Taxon and Phylogenetic tree. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecology, Heliconius, Gene flow and Comparative genomics in addition to Evolutionary biology. His research in Expressed sequence tag intersects with topics in cDNA library and DNA microarray.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (37.96%)
  • Genome (33.25%)
  • Gene (21.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genome (33.25%)
  • Evolutionary biology (20.68%)
  • Genetics (37.96%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genome, Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Sequence assembly and Gene. Mark Blaxter mostly deals with Genomics in his studies of Genome. His Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Teleogryllus oceanicus, Phylogenetics, Locus, Adaptation and Gene flow.

While working on this project, Mark Blaxter studies both Genetics and Daphnia magna. His Sequence assembly study which covers Whole genome sequencing that intersects with Eagle and X sex chromosome. The various areas that he examines in his Gene study include Host and Parthenogenesis.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genomic architecture and introgression shape a butterfly radiation (109 citations)
  • Comparative genomics of 10 new Caenorhabditis species. (53 citations)
  • The ash dieback invasion of Europe was founded by two genetically divergent individuals (40 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Genome, Gene, Sequence assembly and Phylogenetic tree. His research ties Hermaphrodite and Genetics together. His work in the fields of Genome, such as Genomics and European Nucleotide Archive, intersects with other areas such as Pollination.

Mark Blaxter has included themes like Caenorhabditis, Phylogenetics, Codling moth and Chemical ecology in his Genomics study. In the field of Gene, his study on Intron, Transcription, Piwi-interacting RNA and RNA polymerase II overlaps with subjects such as Context. His Phylogenetic tree study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Sanger sequencing, Helminth genetics and Mitochondrial DNA.
