The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Genome, Genomics, Anopheles and Comparative genomics.
Robert M. Waterhouse works mostly in the field of Genetics, limiting it down to topics relating to Computational biology and, in certain cases, UniProt, as a part of the same area of interest.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Annotation, Evolutionary biology and Sequence assembly in addition to Genome.
His Evolutionary biology study incorporates themes from Gene rearrangement and Gene regulatory network.
His study in Sequence assembly is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both De novo transcriptome assembly, Information retrieval, Data mining and DNA sequencing.
His Comparative genomics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phylogenomics and Molecular Sequence Annotation.
His most cited work include:
- BUSCO: assessing genome assembly and annotation completeness with single-copy orthologs (4384 citations)
- The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum. (1039 citations)
- BUSCO Applications from Quality Assessments to Gene Prediction and Phylogenomics. (935 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Genome, Evolutionary biology, Gene, Genetics and Anopheles.
His Genome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phylogenetics and Computational biology.
Robert M. Waterhouse focuses mostly in the field of Computational biology, narrowing it down to matters related to OrthoDB and, in some cases, Data curation.
His Evolutionary biology study also includes
