Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Haplogroup, Haplotype and Population genetics. The study of Genetics is intertwined with the study of Genetic diversity in a number of ways. His Genetic diversity research integrates issues from Neanderthal and Archaeogenetics.

His research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Reference genome, Mitochondrial DNA, Ancient DNA, Denisovan and Biological dispersal. His work deals with themes such as Prehistory, Founder effect, Haplogroup L3 and Phylogenetic tree, which intersect with Haplogroup. The Population genetics study which covers Human migration that intersects with Human evolutionary genetics, Balancing selection, Effective population size and Genome evolution.

His most cited work include:

  • Tracing European founder lineages in the Near Eastern mtDNA pool. (841 citations)
  • Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans (811 citations)
  • Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans (811 citations)

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

Richard Villems mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Haplogroup, Haplotype and Mitochondrial DNA. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phylogenetic tree, Y chromosome, Genetic variation, Demographic history and Biological dispersal. His Genetics research incorporates themes from Population genetics and Genetic diversity.

His Haplogroup research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Haplogroup M, Gene pool, Phylogeography, Haplogroup L3 and Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Mitochondrial DNA, focusing on Genetic structure and, on occasion, Endogamy. His studies deal with areas such as Human genome and Denisovan as well as Genomics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Evolutionary biology (88.65%)
  • Genetics (86.03%)
  • Haplogroup (64.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (88.65%)
  • Genetics (86.03%)
  • Haplogroup (64.19%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Haplogroup, Ethnology and Demographic history. Richard Villems has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Biological dispersal and Haplotype. The Biological dispersal study combines topics in areas such as Human genome, Denisovan and Reference genome.

His Genetics study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Human migration. His research integrates issues of Allele frequency and Phylogenetic tree in his study of Haplogroup. His studies deal with areas such as Middle East, Ancient DNA, Inbreeding and Mitochondrial DNA as well as Demographic history.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations (684 citations)
  • The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations (684 citations)
  • The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations (684 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Richard Villems mainly focuses on Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Genomics, Genome and Human evolutionary genetics. Genetic variation, Locus, Fixation, Gene and Low copy number are the subjects of his Genetics studies. His work deals with themes such as Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup, Haplotype, Haplogroup N, Y chromosome and Phylogeography, which intersect with Evolutionary biology.

Richard Villems combines subjects such as Biological dispersal, Human genome, Denisovan and Reference genome with his study of Genomics. His Human evolutionary genetics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genome evolution, Effective population size, Human migration and Balancing selection.
