Research topics

Which keywords describe Hendrik N. Poinar's research?

The keywords of their largest research topics: Ancient DNA, Genomic Analysis, Human Evolution, Population History, plague, Yersinia pestis, RNA-Seq and sequence alignment.

Size is their works in the topics tagged with each word, from their 8 largest topics. Each links to the topic it comes from most. The words come from the keyword list OpenAlex gives each topic, not from the text of the papers, so a word can appear that none of the papers uses.
