Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Walther Parson mainly focuses on Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Computational biology, DNA profiling and Microsatellite. The Heteroplasmy research he does as part of his general Mitochondrial DNA study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Context, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Forensic genetics and Massive parallel sequencing, DNA sequencing in addition to Computational biology.

His DNA profiling study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as mtDNA control region, Multiplex and Genetic variation. The Microsatellite study combines topics in areas such as Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genotype. He has researched Haplogroup in several fields, including Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetic tree.

His most cited work include:

  • Evaluation of Y-chromosomal STRs: a multicenter study (681 citations)
  • Correlation between genetic and geographic structure in Europe. (398 citations)
  • Lack of Antibody Production Following Immunization in Old Age: Association with CD8+CD28− T Cell Clonal Expansions and an Imbalance in the Production of Th1 and Th2 Cytokines (395 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Haplotype, Haplogroup and Computational biology. His study in Microsatellite, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, DNA profiling, Allele and Typing falls within the category of Genetics. His research integrates issues of Allele frequency and Genotype in his study of Microsatellite.

His Mitochondrial DNA study incorporates themes from mtDNA control region, Genome, Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetic tree. The concepts of his Haplogroup study are interwoven with issues in Phylogenetics, Population genetics and Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup. His Computational biology research incorporates elements of Multiplex, Ion semiconductor sequencing, Massive parallel sequencing, DNA sequencing and Forensic genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (61.00%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (48.65%)
  • Haplotype (30.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Mitochondrial DNA (48.65%)
  • Massive parallel sequencing (25.87%)
  • Computational biology (27.41%)

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

Mitochondrial DNA, Massive parallel sequencing, Computational biology, Haplogroup and Haplotype are his primary areas of study. His Mitochondrial DNA study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Genome and mtDNA control region. His Computational biology research includes themes of Multiplex, Genomics, Concordance, Genotyping and DNA sequencing.

His study with Haplogroup involves better knowledge in Genetics. Walther Parson has included themes like Variety and Research ethics in his Genetics study. He interconnects Non-Mendelian inheritance and Genetic distance in the investigation of issues within Haplotype.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • No further evidence for paternal leakage of mitochondrial DNA in humans yet (34 citations)
  • No further evidence for paternal leakage of mitochondrial DNA in humans yet (34 citations)
  • DNA commission of the International society for forensic genetics: Assessing the value of forensic biological evidence - Guidelines highlighting the importance of propositions. Part II: Evaluation of biological traces considering activity level propositions. (17 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Computational biology, Massive parallel sequencing, Mitochondrial DNA, Heteroplasmy and Concordance. His work carried out in the field of Computational biology brings together such families of science as Ancient DNA, Genotyping, Degraded dna and Haplotype. His work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology, Multiplex, Ion semiconductor sequencing and Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genotype, which intersect with Massive parallel sequencing.

He combines topics linked to DNA with his work on Mitochondrial DNA. To a larger extent, Walther Parson studies Genetics with the aim of understanding DNA. His research in Concordance intersects with topics in Microsatellite and Genomics.
