Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genetics

Shomi S. Bhattacharya focuses on Genetics, Retinitis pigmentosa, Locus, Genetic heterogeneity and Missense mutation. All of his Genetics and Gene, Genetic linkage, Exon, Gene mapping and Mutation investigations are sub-components of the entire Genetics study. His work deals with themes such as Retinal degeneration, Retinal pigment epithelium and Positional cloning, which intersect with Retinitis pigmentosa.

His Locus research includes themes of Genetic marker, Point mutation and Haplotype. His Genetic heterogeneity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetic counseling, Age-related cataract and Candidate gene. His work carried out in the field of Missense mutation brings together such families of science as Exome sequencing and Frameshift mutation.

His most cited work include:

  • Effect of gene therapy on visual function in Leber's congenital amaurosis. (1589 citations)
  • OPA1, encoding a dynamin-related GTPase, is mutated in autosomal dominant optic atrophy linked to chromosome 3q28. (1036 citations)
  • Cone-rod dystrophy due to mutations in a novel photoreceptor-specific homeobox gene (CRX) essential for maintenance of the photoreceptor (471 citations)

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

Shomi S. Bhattacharya mostly deals with Genetics, Retinitis pigmentosa, Locus, Gene and Genetic linkage. His Genetics research focuses on Mutation, Genetic heterogeneity, Retinal degeneration, Candidate gene and Gene mapping. His Retinitis pigmentosa research incorporates elements of Retinal pigment epithelium, Molecular biology, Allele and Exon.

His research in Locus intersects with topics in Microsatellite and Haplotype. His research in Missense mutation and Phenotype are components of Gene. His study looks at the intersection of Genetic linkage and topics like Genetic marker with X chromosome.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (69.31%)
  • Retinitis pigmentosa (29.92%)
  • Locus (21.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Genetics (69.31%)
  • Retinitis pigmentosa (29.92%)
  • Cell biology (10.42%)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Retinitis pigmentosa, Cell biology, Mutation and Retinal degeneration. His work is connected to PRPF31, Gene, Exome sequencing, Missense mutation and Candidate gene, as a part of Genetics. His study in Missense mutation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Proband and Locus.

He focuses mostly in the field of Locus, narrowing it down to matters related to Single-nucleotide polymorphism and, in some cases, Haplotype, Odds ratio and Genetic linkage. In his study, Molecular biology is inextricably linked to Exon, which falls within the broad field of Retinitis pigmentosa. He combines subjects such as Embryonic stem cell, Retina, Retinal and Mutant with his study of Cell biology.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Photoreceptor degeneration: genetic and mechanistic dissection of a complex trait (413 citations)
  • Prevalence of Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Europe: The Past and the Future (157 citations)
  • Genome-wide association analyses identify three new susceptibility loci for primary angle closure glaucoma (143 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Retinitis pigmentosa, Retinal degeneration, Mutation and Exome sequencing. His study in Genetics focuses on Missense mutation, Genetic heterogeneity, Allele, Gene and Genome-wide association study. In his study, NMNAT1 is strongly linked to Locus, which falls under the umbrella field of Missense mutation.

His Genetic heterogeneity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Macular degeneration, Gene mutation and Candidate gene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Retinal pigment epithelium, Molecular biology and Exon in addition to Retinitis pigmentosa. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Mutation, focusing on Rod-cone dystrophy and, on occasion, Retinal telangiectasia and CRB1.
