Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Genome

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Human genome, Haplotype, International HapMap Project and Genome. His works in Tag SNP, Human genetic variation, Genetic association, 1000 Genomes Project and Genetic variation are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. His work in Human genetic variation addresses subjects such as Genome-wide association study, which are connected to disciplines such as Exome sequencing and Genetic variability.

Stephen F. Schaffner combines subjects such as Computational biology and Genomics with his study of Exome sequencing. The Human genome study combines topics in areas such as Natural selection, Haplotype estimation and Reference genome. His work carried out in the field of Genome brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, ENCODE and Common chimpanzee.

His most cited work include:

  • A global reference for human genetic variation. (7825 citations)
  • A global reference for human genetic variation. (7825 citations)
  • A haplotype map of the human genome (5144 citations)

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

Stephen F. Schaffner spends much of his time researching Genetics, Virology, Genome, Malaria and Outbreak. His Genetics study is mostly concerned with Linkage disequilibrium, Haplotype, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Human genome and Genetic variation. His Linkage disequilibrium study also includes

  • Evolutionary biology that intertwine with fields like Phylogenetic tree,
  • Genome-wide association study most often made with reference to Genetic association.

His research in Virology focuses on subjects like Metagenomics, which are connected to Yellow fever. His Genome research incorporates themes from Computational biology and DNA sequencing. His Computational biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetic variability and 1000 Genomes Project.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (46.27%)
  • Virology (43.28%)
  • Genome (23.13%)

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

  • Virology (43.28%)
  • Cell biology (17.16%)
  • Ebola virus (29.10%)

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

His primary areas of study are Virology, Cell biology, Ebola virus, Virus and Outbreak. In his study, Antigen, Genomics, Plasmodium falciparum, Genotype frequency and Haplotype is inextricably linked to Immune system, which falls within the broad field of Virology. His Antigen study deals with the bigger picture of Genetics.

His research investigates the connection with Cell biology and areas like Enhancer which intersect with concerns in Comparative genomics and Psychological repression. His Virus study also includes fields such as

  • Infectivity and Genome most often made with reference to Antibody,
  • Susceptible individual and RNA virus most often made with reference to Ectopic expression. His Outbreak research includes themes of Plasmodium vivax, Yellow fever, Genetic structure and Metagenomics.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Structural and Functional Analysis of the D614G SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Variant. (237 citations)
  • Structural and Functional Analysis of the D614G SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Variant. (237 citations)
  • SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein variant D614G increases infectivity and retains sensitivity to antibodies that target the receptor binding domain [preprint] (58 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Genome

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Antibody, Virus, Ectopic expression, Evolutionary biology and Virion membrane. Stephen F. Schaffner has researched Antibody in several fields, including Infectivity, RNA virus, Genome and Susceptible individual. His Virus research is under the purview of Virology.

The various areas that Stephen F. Schaffner examines in his Evolutionary biology study include Mumps virus, Epidemiology, Genetic epidemiology and Outbreak. Cell biology, Protein trimer, Protein structure, HEK 293 cells and Protein biosynthesis are fields of study that intersect with his Virion membrane study. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Receptor and Neutralization.
