Genetic diversity and population structure
Genetic diversity and population structure is a research topic within Genetics. Science Explorer counts 46k research works in it since 1950. 29.3% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers covers a wide range of topics in population genetics, including inference of population structure and dynamics, genetic diversity, species delimitation, adaptive evolution, and phylogeography. It discusses methods such as microsatellite analysis, Bayesian inference, and the use of molecular markers to understand the genetic makeup and evolutionary history of populations.

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.
