Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Richard Durbin mainly investigates Genetics, Genome, Genomics, Computational biology and Human genome. His studies examine the connections between Genetics and genetics, as well as such issues in Evolutionary biology, with regards to Population genetics. His Genome research integrates issues from Sequence analysis and Sequence assembly.

His Genomics research includes themes of Exome sequencing, Exome, Genetic variation and 1000 Genomes Project. He has included themes like Genome resequencing and Variant Call Format in his Exome study. The various areas that Richard Durbin examines in his Hybrid genome assembly study include 2 base encoding and Paired-end tag.

His most cited work include:

  • Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform (29912 citations)
  • The Sequence Alignment/Map format and SAMtools (29524 citations)
  • Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome. (18816 citations)

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

Genetics, Genome, Computational biology, Evolutionary biology and Genomics are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sequence analysis, Haplotype and Sequence assembly in addition to Genome. His studies in Computational biology integrate themes in fields like Genome project, Contig, Sequence alignment, Annotation and 1000 Genomes Project.

Richard Durbin interconnects Indel and Graph in the investigation of issues within 1000 Genomes Project. His research investigates the connection between Evolutionary biology and topics such as Denisovan that intersect with problems in Neanderthal. The Genomics study combines topics in areas such as Exome and Caenorhabditis elegans.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (42.66%)
  • Genome (42.38%)
  • Computational biology (32.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genome (42.38%)
  • Evolutionary biology (27.70%)
  • Computational biology (32.96%)

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

Richard Durbin mostly deals with Genome, Evolutionary biology, Computational biology, Sequence assembly and Haplotype. The Genome study which covers Consensus sequence that intersects with Genetic diversity. His research in Computational biology intersects with topics in Proteome, Genetic variants and Ploidy.

Richard Durbin has researched Sequence assembly in several fields, including Comparative genomics and Whole genome sequencing. His Haplotype study combines topics in areas such as Theoretical computer science, Loss of heterozygosity, 1000 Genomes Project, Graph and Search engine indexing. His study in Genomics focuses on Population genomics in particular.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Earth BioGenome Project: Sequencing life for the future of life. (225 citations)
  • Earth BioGenome Project: Sequencing life for the future of life. (225 citations)
  • Variation graph toolkit improves read mapping by representing genetic variation in the reference. (199 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Richard Durbin spends much of his time researching Genome, Evolutionary biology, Neanderthal, Haplotype and Computational biology. His Genome study incorporates themes from Contiguity and DNA. His Evolutionary biology study also includes fields such as

  • Vertebrate, which have a strong connection to Gene flow, Adaptive radiation, Biodiversity conservation and Genomics,
  • Introgression that connect with fields like Archaic humans, Lineage and Phylogenetic tree.

His Haplotype research incorporates themes from Search engine indexing, 1000 Genomes Project, Reference genome, Graph and Focus. His Reference genome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Comparative genomics and Sequence assembly. His Whole genome sequencing study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Scalability, Theoretical computer science, Human genome and DNA sequencing.
