Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • DNA
  • Gene
  • Genome

His main research concerns Genetics, Genome, DNA, Nucleic acid analogue and Nucleic acid. His research related to DNA sequencing, Human genome, Sequence analysis, DNA sequencing theory and Shotgun sequencing might be considered part of Genetics. His research investigates the connection with DNA sequencing theory and areas like Cancer genome sequencing which intersect with concerns in Paired-end tag, Massive parallel sequencing and Hybrid genome assembly.

His studies examine the connections between Genome and genetics, as well as such issues in Botany, with regards to Genomics. His DNA research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nucleic acid thermodynamics and Stereochemistry. His Nucleic acid study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Biochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome sequencing in microfabricated high-density picolitre reactors (7254 citations)
  • A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins (5272 citations)
  • Sequence-selective recognition of DNA by strand displacement with a thymine-substituted polyamide (3066 citations)

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

Nucleic acid, Biochemistry, DNA, Genetics and Peptide nucleic acid are his primary areas of study. His Nucleic acid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nucleic acid structure, Nucleobase, Stereochemistry, Nucleic acid analogue and Peptide. His Biochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Molecular biology and RNA polymerase II.

Michael Egholm mostly deals with A-DNA in his studies of DNA. His work is connected to DNA sequencing, Genome, Gene, Whole Genome Amplification and Pyrosequencing, as a part of Genetics. His Peptide nucleic acid research includes elements of Hybridization probe, Coding strand, Polymerase and Oligonucleotide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Nucleic acid (34.29%)
  • Biochemistry (29.29%)
  • DNA (27.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2018)?

  • Genetics (25.71%)
  • Virology (10.00%)
  • DNA sequencing (10.00%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Virology, DNA sequencing, Genome and Pyrosequencing. His studies in Amplicon, Gene, Sequence analysis, Gene rearrangement and Mitochondrial DNA are all subfields of Genetics research. His Virology research includes themes of Disease, Drug resistance and Genotype.

His work investigates the relationship between Genome and topics such as Botany that intersect with problems in Neofunctionalization. His work carried out in the field of Pyrosequencing brings together such families of science as Sanger sequencing, Molecular biology, Genotyping and Deep sequencing. His Computational biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Combinatorial chemistry and Nucleic acid.

Between 2007 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins (5272 citations)
  • A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome (2666 citations)
  • The tomato genome sequence provides insights into fleshy fruit evolution (1991 citations)

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

  • DNA
  • Gene
  • Genome

Michael Egholm focuses on Genetics, Genome, Sequence analysis, DNA sequencing and Virology. Genetics and Gut flora are commonly linked in his work. He focuses mostly in the field of Genome, narrowing it down to topics relating to Botany and, in certain cases, Neofunctionalization.

Michael Egholm has included themes like Candidate gene, Linkage disequilibrium, IFIH1 Gene and Exon in his Sequence analysis study. The DNA sequencing study which covers Gene rearrangement that intersects with Immune receptor, Genomic library, Amplicon and Immune system. His study in the field of Virus and Viral disease also crosses realms of Arenavirus.
