Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Ecology

Her primary areas of investigation include Gut flora, Microbiome, Genetics, Human Microbiome Project and Metagenomics. She interconnects Bacterial Physiological Phenomena, Internal medicine and Phylogenetics, Gene in the investigation of issues within Gut flora. Her research integrates issues of Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Ecology, Feces and Genome in her study of Microbiome.

Her study looks at the relationship between Genetics and topics such as Computational biology, which overlap with RNA RIBOSOMAL 16S, Sequencing data, Rare biosphere and mothur. The Human Microbiome Project study which covers Enterotype that intersects with Gastrointestinal Microbiome and Obesity. The Metagenomics study combines topics in areas such as Ribosomal RNA, Pyrosequencing and Genetic Databases.

Her most cited work include:

  • QIIME allows analysis of high-throughput community sequencing data (20576 citations)
  • An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest (7356 citations)
  • Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome (6128 citations)

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

Microbiome, Gut flora, Genetics, Metagenomics and Evolutionary biology are her primary areas of study. Her research investigates the connection between Microbiome and topics such as Genotype that intersect with problems in Phenotype. She has included themes like Internal medicine, Obesity, Intestinal mucosa and Microbiology in her Gut flora study.

Her work in the fields of Genetics, such as Gene, intersects with other areas such as Lactase. Her Metagenomics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sequence analysis, Ribosomal RNA, Genome, Computational biology and DNA sequencing. Her Human Microbiome Project study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Earth Microbiome Project and Enterotype.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiome (50.52%)
  • Gut flora (29.17%)
  • Genetics (25.00%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Microbiome (50.52%)
  • Evolutionary biology (16.15%)
  • Genome (8.85%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Microbiome, Evolutionary biology, Genome, Metagenomics and Host. Her Microbiome study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics. Her study in Evolutionary biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both 16S ribosomal RNA and Phylogenetics, Clade, Phylogenetic tree.

Her Genome study also includes

  • Bacteria together with Comparative genomics,
  • Archaea which intersects with area such as Microbial ecology. Her Metagenomics research incorporates elements of Computational biology, Microbial Genomes and DNA sequencing. Her Host research focuses on Taxon and how it connects with Vertebrate and Convergent evolution.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Reproducible, interactive, scalable and extensible microbiome data science using QIIME 2 (2043 citations)
  • Reproducible, interactive, scalable and extensible microbiome data science using QIIME 2 (2043 citations)
  • Host diet and evolutionary history explain different aspects of gut microbiome diversity among vertebrate clades (87 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Ecology

Ruth E. Ley spends much of her time researching Microbiome, Genetics, Feces, Gut flora and mothur. Her Microbiome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Evolutionary biology, Methanogen, Clade and Archaea. Her Feces study combines topics in areas such as Antibody and Immunology.

Her studies in Immunology integrate themes in fields like Haemophilus and Bacteria. Her Gut flora research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Saliva, Genetic variation, Allele and Copy-number variation. Her Flagellin research focuses on subjects like Inflammatory bowel disease, which are linked to Body mass index, Obesity, Human genome, Gastrointestinal Microbiome and Heritability.
