Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

Esteban J. Parra mostly deals with Genetics, Population genetics, Ancestry-informative marker, Allele and Genetic marker. Esteban J. Parra has researched Genetics in several fields, including Natural selection and Genetic admixture. Esteban J. Parra focuses mostly in the field of Population genetics, narrowing it down to matters related to Genetic genealogy and, in some cases, Haplogroup, Haplotype and Proxy.

While the research belongs to areas of Ancestry-informative marker, Esteban J. Parra spends his time largely on the problem of Evolutionary biology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Population stratification. His Allele study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gene flow, Genetic structure and Locus. His research integrates issues of Melanosome, Zebrafish and OCA2 in his study of Allele frequency.

His most cited work include:

  • SLC24A5, a Putative Cation Exchanger, Affects Pigmentation in Zebrafish and Humans (806 citations)
  • Genome-wide trans-ancestry meta-analysis provides insight into the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes susceptibility. (744 citations)
  • Estimating African American admixture proportions by use of population-specific alleles. (687 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Allele, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Allele frequency and Genome-wide association study. His research investigates the link between Genetics and topics such as Population genetics that cross with problems in Evolutionary biology and Genetic genealogy. His Allele research focuses on SLC24A5 and how it connects with SLC45A2.

His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Natural selection and Genotyping. His studies deal with areas such as Phenotype and Odds ratio as well as Allele frequency. Esteban J. Parra focuses mostly in the field of Ancestry-informative marker, narrowing it down to matters related to Genetic structure and, in some cases, Gene flow and Gene pool.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (44.08%)
  • Allele (25.00%)
  • Single-nucleotide polymorphism (18.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genetic association (15.13%)
  • Genome-wide association study (15.79%)
  • Evolutionary biology (12.50%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetic association, Genome-wide association study, Evolutionary biology, Gene and Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Obesity, Genetic risk, Quantitative trait locus, Allele and Genetic variation. His research investigates the connection with Allele and areas like Single-nucleotide polymorphism which intersect with concerns in Allele frequency, Genetic admixture, Massive parallel sequencing, Locus and Skeletal muscle.

His Genome-wide association study study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bioinformatics, Kidney disease, Renal function, Disease and Kidney. His Evolutionary biology study also includes fields such as

  • Genetic diversity which connect with Genetic architecture, SLC24A5, Pleiotropy, Epistasis and Human evolution,
  • Pharmacogenomics that connect with fields like Identification, Population stratification, Pharmacogenetics and Human genetic variation. His research in the fields of Expression quantitative trait loci overlaps with other disciplines such as CTCF.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Trans-ethnic kidney function association study reveals putative causal genes and effects on kidney-specific disease aetiologies (42 citations)
  • Shades of complexity: New perspectives on the evolution and genetic architecture of human skin (21 citations)
  • Exploring Cuba's population structure and demographic history using genome-wide data (13 citations)
