Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Archaea, Evolutionary biology, Genome and DNA. His work in Phylogenetics, DNA replication, Gene, Non-cellular life and Viral evolution is related to Genetics. His Archaea study improves the overall literature in Bacteria.

His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Tree of life, Ecology, Crenarchaeota and Phylum, Thaumarchaeota. His work deals with themes such as Biological evolution and Microbiology, which intersect with Genome. His DNA research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fuselloviridae and Helicase.

His most cited work include:

  • Mesophilic crenarchaeota: proposal for a third archaeal phylum, the Thaumarchaeota (910 citations)
  • Mesophilic crenarchaeota: proposal for a third archaeal phylum, the Thaumarchaeota (910 citations)
  • An atypical topoisomerase II from Archaea with implications for meiotic recombination. (727 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Archaea, DNA, Gene and Genome. Phylogenetics, Plasmid, DNA replication, Mobile genetic elements and Archaeal Viruses are the subjects of his Genetics studies. His Archaea research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Evolutionary biology, Ecology and Phylum.

His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Tree of life, Last universal ancestor, Horizontal gene transfer and Phylogenetic tree. His DNA study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Molecular biology and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. Patrick Forterre combines subjects such as Virus and Computational biology with his study of Genome.

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

Patrick Forterre spends much of his time researching Genetics, Archaea, Gene, Genome and Evolutionary biology. His work in DNA, Thaumarchaeota, Horizontal gene transfer, Integrases and Viral replication are all subfields of Genetics research. His DNA research incorporates themes from Three-domain system and Capsid.

His Archaea research incorporates elements of Ecology and Hydrothermal vent. His studies in Genome integrate themes in fields like Plasmid and Computational biology. His research integrates issues of Tree of life, Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree and RNA polymerase in his study of Evolutionary biology.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Casposons: a new superfamily of self-synthesizing DNA transposons at the origin of prokaryotic CRISPR-Cas immunity (118 citations)
  • Extracellular membrane vesicles in the three domains of life and beyond. (91 citations)
  • Extracellular membrane vesicles in the three domains of life and beyond. (91 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Patrick Forterre focuses on Genetics, Archaea, Genome, Evolutionary biology and Gene. His Genetics research focuses on Phylogenetics, Three-domain system, Ribosome, Horizontal gene transfer in evolution and Viral evolution. His work in the fields of Archaea, such as Archaeal Viruses, overlaps with other areas such as Endosymbiosis.

His Genome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plasmid, DNA and CRISPR. Patrick Forterre has included themes like Euryarchaeota, Non-cellular life and Tree of life, Phylogenetic tree in his Evolutionary biology study. His Non-cellular life research integrates issues from Virus, Virus Physiological Phenomena and Viral replication.
