Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

His main research concerns Genetics, Linkage disequilibrium, Human leukocyte antigen, Haplotype and Allele frequency. His work in Genetics tackles topics such as Population genetics which are related to areas like Genetic variation. William Klitz interconnects Genotyping and Genetic admixture in the investigation of issues within Linkage disequilibrium.

His Human leukocyte antigen research integrates issues from Typing and Allele. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Odds ratio and Immunology. His studies in Allele frequency integrate themes in fields like Microsatellite, Founder effect, Y chromosome and Old World.

His most cited work include:

  • Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans (811 citations)
  • The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations (684 citations)
  • Reconstructing Native American population history (522 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Human leukocyte antigen, Allele, Haplotype and Linkage disequilibrium. His Genetics study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Population genetics. His Human leukocyte antigen research incorporates elements of Internal medicine, Sickle cell anemia and Disease.

In his work, Genetic predisposition is strongly intertwined with Genotype, which is a subfield of Allele. His study in the field of HLA-DQ Antigen is also linked to topics like Geography. As a part of the same scientific family, William Klitz mostly works in the field of Linkage disequilibrium, focusing on Genetic variation and, on occasion, Genetic diversity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (60.90%)
  • Human leukocyte antigen (50.00%)
  • Allele (32.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2020)?

  • Genetics (60.90%)
  • Human leukocyte antigen (50.00%)
  • Evolutionary biology (9.62%)

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

William Klitz mainly focuses on Genetics, Human leukocyte antigen, Evolutionary biology, Allele and Ljungan virus. William Klitz focuses mostly in the field of Genetics, narrowing it down to matters related to Population genetics and, in some cases, Genetic admixture. William Klitz works mostly in the field of Human leukocyte antigen, limiting it down to topics relating to Haplotype and, in certain cases, Bootstrapping and Genetic divergence, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Evolutionary biology research incorporates themes from Genome, Human genome, Genomics and Genetic variation. William Klitz studied Allele and Histocompatibility that intersect with Genetic distance. His studies examine the connections between Histocompatibility Testing and genetics, as well as such issues in Immunogenetics, with regards to Linkage disequilibrium.

Between 2007 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans (811 citations)
  • The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations (684 citations)
  • Reconstructing Native American population history (522 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

His main research concerns Genetics, Human leukocyte antigen, Allele, Haplotype and Histocompatibility. He has included themes like Evolutionary biology and Population genetics in his Genetics study. His Evolutionary biology study incorporates themes from Denisovan and Genomics.

His Human leukocyte antigen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hematology, Hemoglobinopathy, Sickle cell anemia and Allele frequency. His research integrates issues of Human migration and Genetic divergence in his study of Haplotype. His studies deal with areas such as Acquired immune system, Mutation, Gene conversion, Immunogenetics and Major histocompatibility complex as well as Histocompatibility.
