Overview

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

Genetics and Single-nucleotide polymorphism are two areas of study in which Thor Aspelund engages in interdisciplinary work. Borrowing concepts from Genetic association, Thor Aspelund weaves in ideas under Single-nucleotide polymorphism. In his work, Thor Aspelund performs multidisciplinary research in Genetic association and Gene. He connects Gene with Genome-wide association study in his study. He connects Genome-wide association study with Haplotype in his research. In his research, Thor Aspelund performs multidisciplinary study on Haplotype and Allele. Thor Aspelund combines Allele and Genotype in his research. He combines Genotype and Genetics in his research. His Disease study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Alzheimer's disease.
