Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Genetics, Genome, Computational biology, Human genome and Y chromosome. His Genome project, Reference genome, Gene, Genomics and Direct repeat investigations are all subjects of Genetics research. His Cancer genome sequencing, Complete sequence and Genomic organization study in the realm of Genome connects with subjects such as Population.

He focuses mostly in the field of Cancer genome sequencing, narrowing it down to matters related to Chimpanzee genome project and, in some cases, DNA sequencing theory, Cancer Genome Project, Hybrid genome assembly, Personal genomics and Gene density. The various areas that Robert H. Waterston examines in his Computational biology study include Cell, ENCODE, Sequence analysis and Somatic cell. His Y chromosome study which covers X chromosome that intersects with Chromosome 21, Chromosome 19, Chromosome 22, Chromosome 16 and Chromosome 3.

His most cited work include:

  • Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome. (18816 citations)
  • Initial sequencing and comparative analysis of the mouse genome. (5789 citations)
  • A map of human genome sequence variation containing 1.42 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (2455 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Gene, Caenorhabditis elegans, Genome and Computational biology. His Gene research focuses on Molecular biology and how it connects with Point mutation. Robert H. Waterston interconnects Mutation, Phenotype, Reversion and Myosin, Cell biology in the investigation of issues within Caenorhabditis elegans.

Within one scientific family, Robert H. Waterston focuses on topics pertaining to Cosmid under Genome, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Yeast artificial chromosome. His study on Computational biology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Human genome which is related to area like Genomics,
  • Transcriptome that intertwine with fields like Embryonic stem cell. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Chimpanzee genome project and Cancer genome sequencing.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (80.72%)
  • Gene (38.55%)
  • Caenorhabditis elegans (36.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2021)?

  • Genetics (80.72%)
  • Cell type (8.43%)
  • Computational biology (24.10%)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Cell type, Computational biology, Transcriptome and Chromatin immunoprecipitation. His study involves Chromosome 22, Chromosome 16, Chromosome 3, Chromosome 4 and Chromosome 21, a branch of Genetics. His Transcriptome study combines topics in areas such as Cell and Embryonic stem cell.

Robert H. Waterston works mostly in the field of Embryonic stem cell, limiting it down to concerns involving Cell biology and, occasionally, Caenorhabditis elegans. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genome and A-DNA in addition to Binding site. His work in Genome is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Regulation of gene expression.

Between 2004 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The DNA sequence of the human X chromosome (904 citations)
  • Comprehensive single-cell transcriptional profiling of a multicellular organism (583 citations)
  • Comparative analysis of regulatory information and circuits across distant species (162 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Robert H. Waterston mostly deals with Genetics, Chromosome 19, Chromosome 21, Chromosome 4 and Y chromosome. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Evolutionary biology and Genetics. His Chromosome 19 research includes elements of Chromosome 16, X chromosome, Chromosome 3 and Chromosome 22.
