Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genome
  • Bacteria

Mya Breitbart mostly deals with Metagenomics, Ecology, Genome, Virology and Viral metagenomics. Her Metagenomics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology, Biodiversity, Genomics, Species richness and Computational biology. Her Ecology research incorporates themes from Phylogenetics and Microbial population biology.

Mya Breitbart has researched Genome in several fields, including Microbial ecology, DNA and Microbial metabolism. Her Viral metagenomics research incorporates elements of Contig, Phycodnaviridae, Total population, Base sequence and Genetic variation. Her research integrates issues of Metagenomics: An Alternative Approach to Genomics, crAssphage, Ecology and Microbiology in her study of Virus.

Her most cited work include:

  • The marine viromes of four oceanic regions (757 citations)
  • Genomic analysis of uncultured marine viral communities (749 citations)
  • Functional metagenomic profiling of nine biomes (740 citations)

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

Metagenomics, Ecology, Genome, Genetics and Virus are her primary areas of study. Her research in Metagenomics is mostly focused on Viral metagenomics. She has included themes like Microbial population biology, Microbial ecology and Bacteria in her Ecology study.

Her Genome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Microbiome and Sequence analysis. Her Virus research includes elements of Zoology and Shotgun sequencing. Her Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Biodiversity and Aquatic ecosystem.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Metagenomics (37.74%)
  • Ecology (32.08%)
  • Genome (27.04%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Genome (27.04%)
  • Genetics (26.42%)
  • Virus (18.87%)

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

Mya Breitbart mainly focuses on Genome, Genetics, Virus, Ecology and Metagenomics. Her Genome research integrates issues from DNA sequencing and Phylogenetic tree. Her Whole genome sequencing, DNA, Viral replication and Genetic variation study in the realm of Genetics connects with subjects such as Circoviridae.

Her work on Geminiviridae as part of general Virus study is frequently linked to Nanoviridae, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetic marker, Microbial ecology and Population genetics. She interconnects RNA, Zoology, Computational biology and Genomic architecture in the investigation of issues within Metagenomics.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Consensus statement: Virus taxonomy in the age of metagenomics (325 citations)
  • Phage Puppet Masters of the Marine Microbial Realm (151 citations)
  • Revisiting the Taxonomy of the Family Circoviridae: Establishment of the Genus Cyclovirus and Removal of the Genus Gyrovirus (130 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Genome

Her primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Genome, Metagenomics, Ecology and DNA. In the subject of general Genetics, her work in Viral replication is often linked to Circoviridae and Cyclovirus, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Her Genome research is mostly focused on the topic Anelloviridae.

Her study of SsDNA viruses is a part of Metagenomics. The concepts of her Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Gene, Host gene and Horizontal gene transfer. Her DNA research focuses on Microorganism and how it relates to Particle.
