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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genome, Genetics, Metagenomics, Gene and Evolutionary biology. Robert Edwards combines subjects such as Bacteriophage, Computational biology and DNA sequencing with his study of Genome. His studies deal with areas such as ORFS and Open reading frame as well as Computational biology.

His Metagenomics research incorporates themes from Microbiome, Software, Cloud computing, Sequence analysis and GC-content. The various areas that he examines in his Gene study include Set, Pipeline and Throughput. The concepts of his Genomics study are interwoven with issues in Sharpnose guitarfish and Phylogenetic tree.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation - A benchmark of metagenomics software (367 citations)
  • Discovery of an expansive bacteriophage family that includes the most abundant viruses from the human gut (132 citations)
  • Isoscalar ππ Scattering and the σ Meson Resonance from QCD. (122 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Robert Edwards focuses on Genome, Metagenomics, Genetics, Lattice QCD and Quantum chromodynamics. The study of Genome is intertwined with the study of Annotation in a number of ways. His Metagenomics research includes elements of Microbiome, Software, Computational biology and Sequence analysis.

His Microbiome study incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology, crAssphage, Phylogenetics and Microbiology. He has included themes like Pion and Scattering amplitude in his Lattice QCD study. His Quantum chromodynamics research includes themes of Bound state and Quark.
