Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Antonio Torroni spends much of his time researching Genetics, Haplogroup, Mitochondrial DNA, Haplotype and Haplogroup L3. His Genetics study frequently involves adjacent topics like Evolutionary biology. His work deals with themes such as Population genetics, mtDNA control region, Founder effect, Lineage and Phylogeography, which intersect with Haplogroup.

His Mitochondrial DNA research incorporates themes from Restriction site and Atlantic slave trade. His Haplotype study combines topics in areas such as Mutation, Penetrance, Genetic variation and Restriction fragment length polymorphism. The various areas that Antonio Torroni examines in his Haplogroup L3 study include Haplogroup M, Haplogroup D-M15, Haplogroup IJ, Middle East and Biological dispersal.

His most cited work include:

  • Tracing European founder lineages in the Near Eastern mtDNA pool. (841 citations)
  • Tracing European founder lineages in the Near Eastern mtDNA pool. (841 citations)
  • Classification of European Mtdnas from an Analysis of Three European Populations (797 citations)

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

Antonio Torroni focuses on Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Haplogroup, Evolutionary biology and Haplotype. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Population genetics under Genetics, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Linkage disequilibrium. His Mitochondrial DNA study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mutation and Optic neuropathy.

His study on Haplogroup also encompasses disciplines like

  • Haplogroup L3, which have a strong connection to Haplogroup H, Haplogroup M and Haplogroup D-M15,
  • Gene pool which intersects with area such as Middle East. His work focuses on many connections between Evolutionary biology and other disciplines, such as Genetic structure, that overlap with his field of interest in Human genetic variation and Colonialism. His Haplotype research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Penetrance, Microsatellite, Y chromosome and Allele frequency.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (70.49%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (54.10%)
  • Haplogroup (54.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Haplogroup (54.51%)
  • Evolutionary biology (39.34%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (54.10%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Haplogroup, Evolutionary biology, Mitochondrial DNA, Genetics and Genetic structure. He combines subjects such as Gene pool, Phylogeography and Archaeology, Peninsula with his study of Haplogroup. He interconnects Context, Holocene, Y chromosome, Phylogenetics and Haplotype in the investigation of issues within Evolutionary biology.

His Mitochondrial DNA research incorporates elements of Molecular genetics, Herd, Human genome and Archaeogenetics. Genetics is closely attributed to Genealogy in his study. His studies in Genetic structure integrate themes in fields like Middle East, Colonialism and Atlantic slave trade.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genomic insights into the origin of farming in the ancient Near East (435 citations)
  • Genealogical Relationships between Early Medieval and Modern Inhabitants of Piedmont (95 citations)
  • Mitogenome diversity in Sardinians: A genetic window onto an Island's past (37 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Haplogroup, Evolutionary biology, Phylogeography, Human migration and Genetics. His research integrates issues of Lineage and Mesolithic in his study of Haplogroup. His Evolutionary biology research incorporates themes from Context, Paleontology, Phylogenetics, Genetic genealogy and Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

His Phylogeography study also includes

  • Gene flow that intertwine with fields like Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup, Amazonian, Amazon rainforest, Haplotype and Taurine cattle,
  • Archaeological evidence that intertwine with fields like Beringia. His Mitochondrial DNA, Heteroplasmy and MT-CYB study in the realm of Genetics interacts with subjects such as Coenzyme Q – cytochrome c reductase. His Cytochrome b study, which is part of a larger body of work in Mitochondrial DNA, is frequently linked to Exercise intolerance, bridging the gap between disciplines.
