Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Haplogroup, Phylogenetics and Haplotype are his primary areas of study. His study connects Population genetics and Genetics. The concepts of his Mitochondrial DNA study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology, Hypervariable region, Mutation and Phylogenetic tree.

His research integrates issues of Human mitochondrial genetics, Genetic structure, MT-ND3, Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup and MT-TC in his study of Haplogroup. His Phylogenetics study incorporates themes from Zoology, Domestication and East Asia. The Haplotype study combines topics in areas such as Germline mutation and Genetic diversity.

His most cited work include:

  • Phylogeographic differentiation of mitochondrial DNA in Han Chinese (469 citations)
  • Updating the East Asian mtDNA phylogeny: a prerequisite for the identification of pathogenic mutations (334 citations)
  • Multiple maternal origins of chickens: out of the Asian jungles. (318 citations)

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

Yong-Gang Yao mostly deals with Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Gene, Haplogroup and Haplotype. His works in Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association, Phylogenetic tree, Genome and Allele are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. His work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology, mtDNA control region, Mutation, Phylogenetics and Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup, which intersect with Mitochondrial DNA.

His study in Gene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology and Disease. His Haplogroup research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Penetrance, Proband and Mutation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gene pool and Genetic variation in addition to Haplotype.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (74.79%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (39.22%)
  • Gene (35.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Gene (35.57%)
  • Genetic association (23.81%)
  • Genetics (74.79%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Gene, Genetic association, Genetics, Genome-wide association study and Disease. His Gene research focuses on Innate immune system and how it connects with Viral replication and Virus. He has included themes like Genetic linkage and Bioinformatics in his Genetic association study.

His Genetics research integrates issues from Dementia and Leprosy. His work carried out in the field of Genome-wide association study brings together such families of science as Quantitative trait locus, Computational biology, Major depressive disorder and Locus. His studies in Disease integrate themes in fields like YAP1, Neuroscience and Pathogenesis.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A systematic integrated analysis of brain expression profiles reveals YAP1 and other prioritized hub genes as important upstream regulators in Alzheimer's disease (52 citations)
  • A systematic integrated analysis of brain expression profiles reveals YAP1 and other prioritized hub genes as important upstream regulators in Alzheimer's disease (52 citations)
  • Comprehensive integrative analyses identify GLT8D1 and CSNK2B as schizophrenia risk genes (39 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Genome-wide association study, Gene, Genetic association, Genetics and Major depressive disorder. His Genome-wide association study research includes elements of Quantitative trait locus, Schizophrenia, Genetic linkage and Leprosy. His research in Gene intersects with topics in Evolutionary biology, Disease and Human brain.

Yong-Gang Yao usually deals with Evolutionary biology and limits it to topics linked to Immunoglobulin gene and Genome. Genetics is closely attributed to Bioinformatics in his research. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phenotype, Locus and Risk factor.
