Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Genetics, RNA, Viral evolution, RNA virus and Evolutionary biology are his primary areas of study. As part of his studies on Genetics, Santiago F. Elena frequently links adjacent subjects like Virology. His work carried out in the field of Viral evolution brings together such families of science as Adaptation, Plant virus and Mutation rate.

His Adaptation study combines topics in areas such as Host and Genetic diversity. His RNA virus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Proofreading, Mutant and Viral replication. His Evolutionary biology research includes themes of Epistasis, Fitness landscape, Natural selection and Human evolutionary genetics.

His most cited work include:

  • Evolution experiments with microorganisms: the dynamics and genetic bases of adaptation. (1098 citations)
  • Perspective: Evolution and detection of genetic robustness. (584 citations)
  • The distribution of fitness effects caused by single-nucleotide substitutions in an RNA virus. (461 citations)

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

Santiago F. Elena mostly deals with Genetics, Viral evolution, Virology, RNA and Gene. RNA virus, Genome, Virus, Plant virus and Mutation rate are among the areas of Genetics where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His Mutation rate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fitness landscape, Mutant and Robustness.

His Viral evolution research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Evolutionary biology, Epistasis, Molecular evolution and Adaptation, Experimental evolution. His Virology study which covers Phylogenetic tree that intersects with Phylogenetics. Santiago F. Elena focuses mostly in the field of RNA, narrowing it down to topics relating to Viral replication and, in certain cases, Evolutionary dynamics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (96.12%)
  • Viral evolution (48.86%)
  • Virology (30.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Genetics (96.12%)
  • Viral evolution (48.86%)
  • Gene (34.47%)

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

Santiago F. Elena spends much of his time researching Genetics, Viral evolution, Gene, Evolutionary dynamics and Evolutionary biology. His study in Host, Virus, Genetic variation, RNA and Phenotype is carried out as part of his studies in Genetics. His Experimental evolution research extends to the thematically linked field of Viral evolution.

The Experimental evolution study which covers Potyvirus that intersects with Robustness and Mutation rate. The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Genome and Clade. His study looks at the relationship between Genome and topics such as Genus, which overlap with Virology and Phylogeography.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Viral Fitness Determines the Magnitude of Transcriptomic and Epigenomic Reprograming of Defense Responses in Plants. (6 citations)
  • Viral Fitness Determines the Magnitude of Transcriptomic and Epigenomic Reprograming of Defense Responses in Plants. (6 citations)
  • Transmission modes affect the population structure of potato virus Y in potato. (4 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

His primary areas of investigation include Viral evolution, Virus, Genetics, Evolutionary dynamics and Evolutionary biology. His Viral evolution research includes elements of Host, Multiplicity of infection, Virulence and Viral life cycle. The concepts of his Virus study are interwoven with issues in Adaptation, RNA virus and Computational biology.

His research in Evolutionary dynamics intersects with topics in Human evolutionary genetics and Phenotypic plasticity. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Clade, Phylogenetic tree, Type species and Virology. His Type species research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genome and Gene.
