Research topics

Which keywords describe Shane McCarthy's research?

The keywords of their largest research topics: RNA-Seq, sequence alignment, Population Genetics, Genetic Diversity, Genetic Variation, Genome Evolution, Genome-Wide Association and Haplotype Mapping.

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.
