Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Archaeology

Ornella Semino mainly investigates Genetics, Haplogroup, Evolutionary biology, Haplotype and Haplogroup L3. Her work investigates the relationship between Haplogroup and topics such as Phylogeography that intersect with problems in Biological dispersal. Her Evolutionary biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Haplogroup M, Mitochondrial DNA, Last Glacial Maximum, Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup and Aurochs.

Her study in Haplogroup M is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Haplogroup L4a, Haplogroup H and Haplogroup N. Her studies in Haplotype integrate themes in fields like Domestication, Taurine cattle, Y chromosome and Introgression. In her work, Gene pool and Homo sapiens is strongly intertwined with Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup, which is a subfield of Y-SNP.

Her most cited work include:

  • The genetic legacy of Paleolithic Homo sapiens sapiens in extant Europeans: a Y chromosome perspective. (713 citations)
  • Single, rapid coastal settlement of Asia revealed by analysis of complete mitochondrial genomes. (593 citations)
  • Distinctive Paleo-Indian Migration Routes from Beringia Marked by Two Rare mtDNA Haplogroups (561 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Haplogroup, Haplotype and Mitochondrial DNA. Her work on Genetics is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Population genetics. Her research integrates issues of Haplogroup M, Allele frequency, Phylogenetics, Haplogroup L3 and Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup in her study of Evolutionary biology.

Her Haplogroup study also includes fields such as

  • Phylogeography together with Biological dispersal,
  • Ecology together with Lineage. Her Haplotype research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gene flow, Genetic variation, Domestication and Y chromosome. The study incorporates disciplines such as Restriction enzyme, BamHI, Genome, Polymorphism and Last Glacial Maximum in addition to Mitochondrial DNA.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (50.74%)
  • Evolutionary biology (44.85%)
  • Haplogroup (43.38%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (44.85%)
  • Haplogroup (43.38%)
  • Genetic structure (13.24%)

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

Her main research concerns Evolutionary biology, Haplogroup, Genetic structure, Colonialism and Ethnology. Her Evolutionary biology research incorporates elements of Holocene, Genome, Haplotype and Mediterranean Basin. The concepts of her Haplogroup study are interwoven with issues in Archaeology, Peninsula, Mitochondrial DNA, Y chromosome and Gene pool.

Her studies deal with areas such as Phylogenetics and Monophyly as well as Y chromosome. Ornella Semino combines subjects such as Middle East, Gene flow, Atlantic slave trade and Demographic history with her study of Ethnology. Her Human genome study is associated with Genetics.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Paleo-Indian Entry into South America According to Mitogenomes. (27 citations)
  • Population structure of modern-day Italians reveals patterns of ancient and archaic ancestries in Southern Europe (24 citations)
  • The Genomic Impact of European Colonization of the Americas (20 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Archaeology
  • Genetics

Ornella Semino mainly focuses on Evolutionary biology, Haplogroup, Haplotype, Native american and Ethnology. Her research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Mediterranean climate, Mediterranean Basin, Microsatellite and Ancient DNA. The various areas that Ornella Semino examines in her Haplogroup study include Human migration and Archaeological evidence, Archaeology.

The Haplotype study combines topics in areas such as Holocene, Mesoamerica, Population size, Gene pool and Population growth. Her Ethnology research incorporates themes from Atlantic slave trade, Colonialism, Demographic history, Middle East and Gene flow. As part of one scientific family, Ornella Semino deals mainly with the area of Gene flow, narrowing it down to issues related to the Genetic structure, and often Colonization, Human genetic variation and Peninsula.
