Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genome

His main research concerns Genetics, Genome, Genomics, Computational biology and Gene. His Genetics study is mostly concerned with Whole genome sequencing, Germline mutation and Mutation. Sean Humphray interconnects Medicago sativa and Medicago in the investigation of issues within Genome.

His work focuses on many connections between Genomics and other disciplines, such as Human genome, that overlap with his field of interest in Copy-number variation and DNA sequencing. His research integrates issues of Chimpanzee genome project, DNA sequencing theory, Hybrid genome assembly and Cancer genome sequencing in his study of Computational biology. His study in Gene density is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cancer Genome Project, Zebrafish, Pseudogene and Gene prediction.

His most cited work include:

  • Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome. (18816 citations)
  • A global reference for human genetic variation. (7825 citations)
  • Accurate whole human genome sequencing using reversible terminator chemistry (3039 citations)

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

Sean Humphray mostly deals with Genetics, Genome, Gene, Computational biology and Whole genome sequencing. He integrates Genetics and Genomic library in his research. His Genome research includes elements of Sequence analysis and Candidate gene.

In Computational biology, Sean Humphray works on issues like Cancer genome sequencing, which are connected to Chimpanzee genome project. The study incorporates disciplines such as Exome sequencing and Deep sequencing in addition to Whole genome sequencing. His study looks at the intersection of Synteny and topics like Segmental duplication with Evolutionary biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (80.43%)
  • Genome (45.65%)
  • Gene (29.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Genetics (80.43%)
  • Genome (45.65%)
  • Cancer research (10.87%)

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

Sean Humphray mainly investigates Genetics, Genome, Cancer research, Whole genome sequencing and Computational biology. In most of his Genetics studies, his work intersects topics such as Rare disease. The concepts of his Genome study are interwoven with issues in Allele, Haplotype, Mendelian inheritance and Inheritance.

His Cancer research research incorporates themes from Cancer, Bioinformatics, Carcinoma, Loss of heterozygosity and Ploidy. His Whole genome sequencing research incorporates elements of Trinucleotide repeat expansion, LRBA, Quantitative trait locus, Disease and Locus. As part of one scientific family, Sean Humphray deals mainly with the area of Computational biology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Genomics, and often Human genetic variation.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • A global reference for human genetic variation. (7825 citations)
  • A global reference for human genetic variation (539 citations)
  • Multifocal clonal evolution characterized using circulating tumour DNA in a case of metastatic breast cancer (300 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genome

Sean Humphray focuses on Human genetic variation, Computational biology, Genomics, Evolutionary biology and Human genetics. His Human genetic variation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetic variability and Genetic variation. His work deals with themes such as Exome sequencing and Genetics, which intersect with Computational biology.

His Human genetics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genotype, Genome, Sequence analysis and Inheritance. Many of his studies on Inheritance apply to Haplotype as well.
