Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

His primary areas of investigation include Ancient DNA, Genetics, Domestication, Allele and Evolutionary biology. His Ancient DNA research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Afrotheria, Ecology, Holocene and Genetic diversity. His Genetics research focuses on Archaeogenetics and how it connects with Denisovan.

His studies deal with areas such as Adaptation, Biological evolution, Population genetics and Genetic data as well as Domestication. His work on Allele frequency is typically connected to Lactase as part of general Allele study, connecting several disciplines of science. Joachim Burger has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Bronze Age, Archaeology, Haplogroup, Taurine cattle and Demographic history.

His most cited work include:

  • Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans (811 citations)
  • Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection May Increase the Risk of Imprinting Defects (617 citations)
  • Ancient DNA from the first European farmers in 7500-year-old Neolithic sites (438 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Ancient DNA, Domestication, Evolutionary biology and Haplotype. Joachim Burger combines Genetics and Genomic imprinting in his research. His Ancient DNA research incorporates elements of Genetic diversity, Paleontology, Ethnology and Archaeology, Mesolithic.

His Domestication research incorporates themes from Zoology, Middle East, Bronze Age and Mitochondrial DNA. His Evolutionary biology study incorporates themes from Biological evolution, Genome, Genomics and Population genetics. His work carried out in the field of Haplotype brings together such families of science as Alu element and Locus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (37.25%)
  • Ancient DNA (32.35%)
  • Domestication (23.53%)

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

  • Bronze Age (11.76%)
  • Ancient DNA (32.35%)
  • Domestication (23.53%)

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

Joachim Burger spends much of his time researching Bronze Age, Ancient DNA, Domestication, Evolutionary biology and Genetic diversity. Ancient DNA is closely attributed to Archaeology in his work. His Domestication study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Zoology, Genome, Reproduction and Phylogenetics.

His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genetics, Genetic analysis, Population genetics, Genetic structure and Genetic genealogy. Joachim Burger performs integrative Genetics and Genomic imprinting research in his work. His studies in Genetic diversity integrate themes in fields like Ecology, Transect and Chalcolithic.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Parallel palaeogenomic transects reveal complex genetic history of early European farmers. (160 citations)
  • Ancient European dog genomes reveal continuity since the Early Neolithic. (104 citations)
  • Tracking Five Millennia of Horse Management with Extensive Ancient Genome Time Series (79 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Domestication, Genome, Human migration, Evolutionary biology and Ethnology. Much of his study explores Domestication relationship to Zoology. His Human migration research includes themes of Ecology, Zebu, Mitochondrial DNA, Genomics and Aurochs.

His study looks at the intersection of Evolutionary biology and topics like Population genetics with Period, Genome evolution, Paleogenetics, Genetics and Population genomics. His Ethnology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genomic data, Steppe, Iron Age and Series. His Series research integrates issues from Ancient DNA and Genetic diversity.
