Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

His main research concerns Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Evolutionary biology, Haplogroup and Haplotype. His is involved in several facets of Genetics study, as is seen by his studies on Phylogenetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Gene flow, Allele frequency and Genome. His research integrates issues of Population genetics, Hypervariable region, Ethnology, Atlantic slave trade and Phylogeography in his study of Mitochondrial DNA.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ancestry-informative marker, Clade, Ancient DNA, Gene pool and Biological dispersal. Antonio Salas has included themes like Context, Heteroplasmy, Forensic identification, Computational biology and Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup in his Haplogroup study. Antonio Salas focuses mostly in the field of Bantu languages, narrowing it down to matters related to Haplogroup L3 and, in some cases, Ethnic group.

His most cited work include:

  • Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans (811 citations)
  • Distinctive Paleo-Indian Migration Routes from Beringia Marked by Two Rare mtDNA Haplogroups (561 citations)
  • Correcting for Purifying Selection: An Improved Human Mitochondrial Molecular Clock (548 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Haplotype, Evolutionary biology and Haplogroup. His Mitochondrial DNA research also works with subjects such as

  • Phylogenetics, which have a strong connection to Phylogenetic tree,
  • Ethnology that intertwine with fields like Ethnic group. Antonio Salas combines subjects such as Y chromosome and Genetic variation with his study of Haplotype.

His research in Evolutionary biology focuses on subjects like Population genetics, which are connected to Allele frequency. His Haplogroup study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Haplogroup H, Genetic drift and Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup. Antonio Salas interconnects Gene flow and Founder effect in the investigation of issues within Phylogeography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (61.20%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (42.47%)
  • Haplotype (27.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (26.09%)
  • Immunology (4.68%)
  • Genome (9.03%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Evolutionary biology, Immunology, Genome, Haplotype and 1000 Genomes Project. His studies in Evolutionary biology integrate themes in fields like Most recent common ancestor, Phylogenetics, Founder effect, Mutation and Genetic structure. His Haplotype study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Y chromosome and Mitochondrial DNA.

His study in the field of Heteroplasmy is also linked to topics like Reductio ad absurdum. His 1000 Genomes Project research is included under the broader classification of Genetics. The concepts of his Genetics study are interwoven with issues in Odds ratio and Tau protein.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Early human dispersals within the Americas. (99 citations)
  • Genetic association study of exfoliation syndrome identifies a protective rare variant at LOXL1 and five new susceptibility loci (55 citations)
  • Life-threatening infections in children in Europe (the EUCLIDS Project): a prospective cohort study (37 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Human migration, Gene flow, Phylogeography and Immunology. His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Diversification, Phylogenetic tree, Genome, Phylogenetics and Ethnic group. The Gene flow study combines topics in areas such as Maroon, Ethnology and Demographic history.

His Phylogeography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Malay, Vietnamese, Haplogroup, Mainland and Archaeological evidence. His Haplogroup research integrates issues from Zoology, Population genetics, Most recent common ancestor and Human mitochondrial genetics, Mitochondrial DNA. Haplotype is the subject of his research, which falls under Genetics.
