Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Robert W. Williams mainly focuses on Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Gene, Anatomy and Neuroscience. His works in Regulation of gene expression, Inbred strain, Gene mapping, Genetic architecture and Allele are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. His Inbred strain research includes themes of Congenic, Strain, Anxiety, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Haplotype.

His studies in Quantitative trait locus integrate themes in fields like Genetic variation, Phenotype, Locus, Computational biology and Candidate gene. His Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Horseradish peroxidase and Retinal. His Neuroscience research includes themes of Insulin sensitivity, Biochemistry and Energy expenditure.

His most cited work include:

  • The Collaborative Cross, a community resource for the genetic analysis of complex traits (852 citations)
  • Computational identification of Drosophila microRNA genes (660 citations)
  • Complex trait analysis of gene expression uncovers polygenic and pleiotropic networks that modulate nervous system function (645 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Gene, Candidate gene and Inbred strain. His is involved in several facets of Genetics study, as is seen by his studies on Phenotype, Locus, Gene expression, Genome and Genetic variation. His research integrates issues of Genetic analysis, Gene expression profiling, Genomics, Expression quantitative trait loci and Allele in his study of Quantitative trait locus.

Gene and Computational biology are frequently intertwined in his study. Many of his studies on Candidate gene apply to Genome-wide association study as well.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (46.42%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (30.94%)
  • Gene (27.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Genetics (46.42%)
  • Gene (27.17%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (30.94%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Gene, Quantitative trait locus, Phenotype and Candidate gene. His Genetics research focuses on Locus, Genetic variation, Inbred strain, Allele and Regulation of gene expression. His research in Quantitative trait locus intersects with topics in Genotyping, Expression quantitative trait loci and Genome, Genomics.

The concepts of his Phenotype study are interwoven with issues in Genome-wide association study, Computational biology and Function. His Candidate gene research incorporates elements of Physiology and Heritability. Robert W. Williams combines subjects such as Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Cell biology with his study of Gene expression.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multi-omics analysis identifies ATF4 as a key regulator of the mitochondrial stress response in mammals (276 citations)
  • GeneNetwork: A Toolbox for Systems Genetics (84 citations)
  • Joint mouse–human phenome-wide association to test gene function and disease risk (84 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Gene, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic variation and Genome-wide association study. His studies in Regulation of gene expression, Allele, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genotype and Inbred strain are all subfields of Genetics research. His research investigates the connection between Gene and topics such as Computational biology that intersect with issues in Proteomics and Metagenomics.

His Quantitative trait locus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genome, Genotyping, Locus, Heritability and Candidate gene. The Genetic variation study combines topics in areas such as Weight gain, Risk of death, Disease and Calorie. His Genome-wide association study research integrates issues from Evolutionary biology, Model organism and Longevity.
