Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Law

His main research concerns Genetics, Gene, Genome, Molecular biology and Caenorhabditis elegans. His study ties his expertise on Computational biology together with the subject of Genetics. He works mostly in the field of Gene, limiting it down to topics relating to Protein structure and, in certain cases, Active site and Molecular evolution, as a part of the same area of interest.

Sydney Brenner interconnects Evolutionary biology, Conserved sequence and Gene duplication in the investigation of issues within Genome. His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Enhancer, Antibody variation, Nucleic acid and DNA. His study in the field of Caenorhabditis, Pristionchus pacificus and Daf-16 also crosses realms of Gap junction.

His most cited work include:

  • THE GENETICS OF CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS (11643 citations)
  • The structure of the nervous system of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (4388 citations)
  • Gene expression analysis by massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS) on microbead arrays (1469 citations)

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

Sydney Brenner focuses on Genetics, Gene, Genome, Fugu and Molecular biology. Many of his studies on Genetics involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Computational biology. His Computational biology study combines topics in areas such as Polynucleotide, Nucleic acid sequence and DNA sequencing.

His studies deal with areas such as Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetics as well as Genome. His Fugu study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Takifugu rubripes, Takifugu, Synteny, Homology and Sequence analysis. His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Bacteriophage, Escherichia coli, Plasmid, Mutant and Molecular cloning.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (48.84%)
  • Gene (30.33%)
  • Genome (22.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Genetics (48.84%)
  • Genome (22.62%)
  • Gene (30.33%)

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

Sydney Brenner mostly deals with Genetics, Genome, Gene, Evolutionary biology and Vertebrate. Sydney Brenner frequently studies issues relating to Computational biology and Genetics. His studies deal with areas such as Published Erratum, MEDLINE, Genomic library, DNA sequencing and Drug discovery as well as Computational biology.

His research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Caenorhabditis elegans, Comparative genomics, Whole genome sequencing, cDNA library and Phylogenetic network. His Vertebrate study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sanger sequencing, Gene duplication, Phylogenetics, Lamprey and Coelacanth. His Fugu research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Molecular biology and Takifugu rubripes.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Elephant shark genome provides unique insights into gnathostome evolution (473 citations)
  • Genome 10K: A Proposal to Obtain Whole-Genome Sequence for 10 000 Vertebrate Species (471 citations)
  • Integrative Genome-wide Analysis Reveals Cooperative Regulation of Alternative Splicing by hnRNP Proteins (324 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Law

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Genome, Vertebrate, Evolutionary biology and Fugu. His work on Genetics is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Computational biology. His Vertebrate research includes themes of Gene duplication and Coelacanth.

His study looks at the relationship between Evolutionary biology and topics such as Comparative genomics, which overlap with Gene sequence, Whole genome sequencing and Vertebrate Biology. His Fugu research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Takifugu, Takifugu rubripes and Enhancer, Transcription factor, Regulatory sequence. His Gene research incorporates themes from Octopus and Cephalopod.
