Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Genome

Genetics, Genome, Gene, Microbiology and Virulence are his primary areas of study. Nicholas R. Thomson interconnects Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella in the investigation of issues within Genome. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Gene, concentrating on Virology and frequently concerns with Leprosy, Lineage, Shigella flexneri and Evolutionary biology.

His Microbiology study deals with Genomic island intersecting with Operon, Proteus mirabilis and Type three secretion system. His work deals with themes such as Mobile genetic elements and Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli, which intersect with Virulence. His work carried out in the field of Antibiotic resistance brings together such families of science as Multiple drug resistance, Outbreak and Burkholderia.

His most cited work include:

  • Complete genome sequence of the model actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) (2606 citations)
  • Massive gene decay in the leprosy bacillus (1434 citations)
  • Complete genome sequence of a multiple drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi CT18 (1059 citations)

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

Nicholas R. Thomson focuses on Genetics, Microbiology, Genome, Gene and Antibiotic resistance. In most of his Genetics studies, his work intersects topics such as Chlamydia trachomatis. Nicholas R. Thomson has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Plasmid, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella and Virulence.

His studies deal with areas such as Pathogen, Computational biology and DNA sequencing as well as Genome. His research in Antibiotic resistance intersects with topics in Multiple drug resistance, Drug resistance, Antimicrobial, Outbreak and Genotype. In his research on the topic of Phylogenetics, Evolutionary biology is strongly related with Phylogenetic tree.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (60.87%)
  • Microbiology (49.66%)
  • Genome (44.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Genetics (60.87%)
  • Antibiotic resistance (32.72%)
  • Genome (44.16%)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Antibiotic resistance, Genome, Microbiology and Klebsiella pneumoniae. His is doing research in Whole genome sequencing, Vibrio cholerae, Genetic variation, Gene and Bacterial genetics, both of which are found in Genetics. The various areas that Nicholas R. Thomson examines in his Antibiotic resistance study include Serotype and Salmonella.

His Genome study incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Cholera, Gene pool and Computational biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Acinetobacter baumannii and Bacteria. His Klebsiella pneumoniae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plasmid, Antimicrobial and Virulence.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genomic insights into the 2016–2017 cholera epidemic in Yemen (64 citations)
  • Genomic insights into the 2016–2017 cholera epidemic in Yemen (64 citations)
  • Genomic surveillance for hypervirulence and multi-drug resistance in invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae from south and southeast Asia (35 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Nicholas R. Thomson mostly deals with Antibiotic resistance, Drug resistance, Genetics, Microbiology and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Nicholas R. Thomson focuses mostly in the field of Antibiotic resistance, narrowing it down to matters related to Serotype and, in some cases, Salmonella and Salmonella enterica. His research related to Molecular epidemiology and Whole genome sequencing might be considered part of Genetics.

His Whole genome sequencing study is focused on Genome in general. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gene and Virulence. Nicholas R. Thomson usually deals with Klebsiella pneumoniae and limits it to topics linked to Plasmid and Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae and Clone.
