Evolution and Genetic Dynamics
Evolution and Genetic Dynamics is a research topic within Genetics. Science Explorer counts 33k research works in it since 1950. 32.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the evolutionary dynamics of genetic adaptation and mutation, including topics such as experimental evolution, fitness landscapes, population genetics, microbial evolution, and host-parasite coevolution. It investigates the mechanisms and consequences of genetic changes in response to selective pressures, providing insights into the processes driving evolutionary change.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
