Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Peter A. Underhill spends much of his time researching Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Haplotype, Haplogroup and Y chromosome. Peter A. Underhill has included themes like Population genetics and Genetic diversity in his Genetics study. His Haplotype study incorporates themes from Near Oceania, Biological dispersal and Polynesians.

Peter A. Underhill has researched Haplogroup in several fields, including Mitochondrial DNA, Subclade and Haplogroup IJ. His Y chromosome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genetic marker, Microsatellite, Locus and Phylogenetic tree. His research integrates issues of Exome sequencing, Genome-wide association study, Genetic variability, Genetic association and Computational biology in his study of Genomics.

His most cited work include:

  • A global reference for human genetic variation. (7825 citations)
  • Y chromosome sequence variation and the history of human populations (855 citations)
  • The genetic legacy of Paleolithic Homo sapiens sapiens in extant Europeans: a Y chromosome perspective. (713 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Haplogroup, Haplotype, Evolutionary biology and Y chromosome. Genetics is closely attributed to Population genetics in his work. His work deals with themes such as Haplogroup D-M15, Haplogroup L3, Phylogeography, Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup and Gene pool, which intersect with Haplogroup.

His study looks at the relationship between Haplotype and fields such as Middle East, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Genetic structure, Genetic diversity, Genetic variation, Haplogroup N and Founder effect. His study looks at the intersection of Y chromosome and topics like Gene flow with Peninsula and Last Glacial Maximum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (52.83%)
  • Haplogroup (38.36%)
  • Haplotype (37.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Haplogroup (38.36%)
  • Evolutionary biology (35.85%)
  • Haplotype (37.74%)

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

His primary areas of study are Haplogroup, Evolutionary biology, Haplotype, Genetics and Ethnology. His work carried out in the field of Haplogroup brings together such families of science as Phylogeography, Phylogenetic tree, Y chromosome and Population genetics. His Evolutionary biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Human genetic variation and Genetic genealogy.

His studies in Haplotype integrate themes in fields like Microsatellite and Biological dispersal. Most recent common ancestor, 1000 Genomes Project and Genomics are among the areas of Genetics where he concentrates his study. His 1000 Genomes Project research includes elements of Exome sequencing, Genome-wide association study, Genetic variability, Genetic association and Computational biology.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A global reference for human genetic variation. (7825 citations)
  • A global reference for human genetic variation (539 citations)
  • A recent bottleneck of Y chromosome diversity coincides with a global change in culture (222 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Human genetic variation, Haplogroup and Most recent common ancestor. His work in Haplotype, Phylogenetic tree, Y chromosome, Phylogenetics and Genomics is related to Genetics. His work in Haplotype covers topics such as Microsatellite which are related to areas like 1000 Genomes Project.

His research investigates the connection with Genomics and areas like Exome sequencing which intersect with concerns in Genetic variation. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gene pool, Genetic diversity, Phylogeography and Population genetics. The concepts of his Most recent common ancestor study are interwoven with issues in Biological dispersal, Mitochondrial DNA and Ancestor.
