Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Kumarasamy Thangaraj focuses on Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Haplotype, Mitochondrial DNA and Haplogroup. His research on Genetics frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Endogamy. The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Biological dispersal, Denisovan and Genome, Genomics.

His studies deal with areas such as Phylogeography, Lineage, Locus and Demographic history as well as Haplotype. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mutation, Sperm motility and Aryan race in addition to Mitochondrial DNA. Kumarasamy Thangaraj interconnects Haplogroup L3, Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup and Coalescent theory in the investigation of issues within Haplogroup.

His most cited work include:

  • Reconstructing Indian Population History (1100 citations)
  • Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans (811 citations)
  • The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations (684 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Gene, Haplotype and Allele. His Genetics study deals with Evolutionary biology intersecting with Genome. Kumarasamy Thangaraj studies Mitochondrial DNA, namely Mitochondrial disease.

Kumarasamy Thangaraj has included themes like Internal medicine and Endocrinology in his Gene study. His Haplotype research integrates issues from Genetic variation and Immunology. Kumarasamy Thangaraj combines subjects such as Genetic diversity and Genotype with his study of Allele.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (48.92%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (17.84%)
  • Gene (14.86%)

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

  • Genetics (48.92%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (17.84%)
  • Haplotype (15.95%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Haplotype, Mitochondrial disease and Allele. His study in Genetics focuses on Mutation, Genetic heterogeneity, Proband, Gene and Genetic analysis. His study in the field of Phenotype also crosses realms of Steroidogenic factor 1.

The Mitochondrial DNA study combines topics in areas such as Haplogroup, Ataxia, Inbreeding, Middle East and Demographic transition. His work is dedicated to discovering how Mitochondrial disease, Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia are connected with Age of onset and other disciplines. His research investigates the connection between Allele and topics such as Genetic diversity that intersect with issues in Genotype frequency.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Formation of Human Populations in South and Central Asia (117 citations)
  • The promise of discovering population-specific disease-associated genes in South Asia (69 citations)
  • A Distinct Phylogenetic Cluster of Indian Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Isolates. (38 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Ancient DNA, Ethnology, Mitochondrial DNA and Male infertility. Kumarasamy Thangaraj does research in Genetics, focusing on Haplotype specifically. His Haplotype research also works with subjects such as

  • Phylogeography and related Polymorphism, Linkage disequilibrium and Allele,
  • Allele frequency, which have a strong connection to Evolutionary biology.

His Ethnology research incorporates elements of Steppe, Pastoralism, Genetic variation and Civilization. His study in Mitochondrial DNA is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetic analysis, Most recent common ancestor, Proband and Acinonyx jubatus jubatus. Kumarasamy Thangaraj has researched Male infertility in several fields, including Andrology, Azoospermia and Single-nucleotide polymorphism.
