Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Paul M. Sharp spends much of his time researching Genetics, Virology, Gene, Virus and Codon usage bias. His Molecular evolution, Genome, Phylogenetics, Molecular clock and Nucleic acid sequence study are his primary interests in Genetics. Paul M. Sharp has researched Phylogenetics in several fields, including Nonsynonymous substitution, Long terminal repeat and Phylogenetic tree.

In general Virology study, his work on Simian immunodeficiency virus and Viral disease often relates to the realm of FLP-FRT recombination, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Paul M. Sharp combines subjects such as Molecular cloning and Immunodeficiency with his study of Virus. His studies deal with areas such as Natural selection and Transfer RNA as well as Codon usage bias.

His most cited work include:

  • CLUSTAL: A package for performing multiple sequence alignment on a microcomputer (3111 citations)
  • The codon Adaptation Index--a measure of directional synonymous codon usage bias, and its potential applications. (2748 citations)
  • Rates of nucleotide substitution vary greatly among plant mitochondrial, chloroplast, and nuclear DNAs. (1678 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Gene, Virology, Genome and Codon usage bias. His Genetics research focuses on Molecular evolution, Phylogenetics, Synonymous substitution, Nucleic acid sequence and Open reading frame. His Phylogenetics research incorporates themes from Gorilla and Phylogenetic tree.

His research links Natural selection with Gene. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Immunodeficiency. He has included themes like Genetic code, Transfer RNA, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mutation in his Codon usage bias study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (62.72%)
  • Gene (35.09%)
  • Virology (32.02%)

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

  • Plasmodium falciparum (7.89%)
  • Virology (32.02%)
  • Laverania (7.02%)

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

His main research concerns Plasmodium falciparum, Virology, Laverania, Genetics and Gorilla. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Allele and Viral quasispecies. His study looks at the relationship between Laverania and topics such as Phylogenetics, which overlap with Human parasite, Phylogenetic tree, Adaptation, Gene pool and Bacterial genome size.

Paul M. Sharp integrates several fields in his works, including Genetics and Cytomegalovirus. Paul M. Sharp interconnects Malaria and Plasmodium vivax in the investigation of issues within Gorilla. His Virus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Resistance mutation and Immunodeficiency.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • African origin of the malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax (141 citations)
  • Out of Africa: origins and evolution of the human malaria parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax (102 citations)
  • Genomes of cryptic chimpanzee Plasmodium species reveal key evolutionary events leading to human malaria (98 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Phylogenetics, Genetics, Laverania and Plasmodium falciparum. His studies in Virology integrate themes in fields like Glycoprotein, Gorilla, Sexual transmission and Viral quasispecies. His Phylogenetics study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Gene.

Paul M. Sharp is involved in the study of Genetics that focuses on Adaptation in particular. His research in Laverania focuses on subjects like Plasmodium vivax, which are connected to Monophyly, Fixation, Allele and Macaque. His Simian immunodeficiency virus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetic diversity, Lineage, Phylogenetic tree, Simian and Genetic variation.
