Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Antibody

Martin F. Flajnik focuses on Genetics, Molecular biology, Acquired immune system, Antibody and Nurse shark. His work in Genetics covers topics such as Evolutionary biology which are related to areas like Comparative genomics. His research investigates the connection between Molecular biology and topics such as Somatic hypermutation that intersect with issues in DNA polymerase.

His Acquired immune system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Genome and Immunoglobulin class switching. His study looks at the relationship between Antibody and topics such as Antigen, which overlap with Complementarity determining region, Biochemistry, Mutation, Ontogeny and Germline. His Nurse shark research integrates issues from Peptide sequence and T-cell receptor.

His most cited work include:

  • A new antigen receptor gene family that undergoes rearrangement and extensive somatic diversification in sharks (547 citations)
  • Origin and evolution of the adaptive immune system: genetic events and selective pressures (540 citations)
  • Elephant shark genome provides unique insights into gnathostome evolution (473 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Gene, Major histocompatibility complex, Molecular biology and Nurse shark. His works in Acquired immune system, Vertebrate, Gene rearrangement, Locus and Immunoglobulin heavy chain are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. His Gene study frequently links to related topics such as Immunoglobulin light chain.

His Major histocompatibility complex research includes themes of Evolutionary biology and Xenopus. His research on Molecular biology also deals with topics like

  • Antibody, which have a strong connection to Antigen,
  • Complementary DNA, which have a strong connection to Peptide sequence and Messenger RNA. His Nurse shark research incorporates themes from Somatic hypermutation, J chain, Exon, Sequence analysis and T-cell receptor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (46.02%)
  • Gene (35.23%)
  • Major histocompatibility complex (34.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Acquired immune system (21.02%)
  • Nurse shark (28.41%)
  • Gene (35.23%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Acquired immune system, Nurse shark, Gene, Genetics and Major histocompatibility complex. His research integrates issues of Innate immune system and B cell in his study of Acquired immune system. His B cell study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Receptor and Molecular biology.

His studies in Nurse shark integrate themes in fields like Phylogenetics, Somatic hypermutation and T-cell receptor. His Gene rearrangement, Immunoglobulin superfamily, Genome, Transposable element and Xenopus study are his primary interests in Genetics. His study in Major histocompatibility complex is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary biology, Gene duplication, Lymphocyte and Proteasome.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Elephant shark genome provides unique insights into gnathostome evolution (473 citations)
  • Genome evolution in the allotetraploid frog Xenopus laevis (457 citations)
  • A cold-blooded view of adaptive immunity. (90 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Antibody

Acquired immune system, Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Nurse shark and Antibody are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including J chain, Immunoglobulin M, Major histocompatibility complex and Affinity maturation. Martin F. Flajnik works mostly in the field of Evolutionary biology, limiting it down to concerns involving Genome and, occasionally, African clawed frog, Chromosome and Xenopus.

His Gene and Vertebrate investigations are all subjects of Genetics research. His Nurse shark research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nursing, Complementarity determining region, Epitope, Phage display and Single-domain antibody. His work carried out in the field of Antibody brings together such families of science as Molecular biology, Polymerase chain reaction, Cellular differentiation and Antigen.
