Abstract

The Y chromosome has gained significant importance in the examination of genetic studies of populations because of its non-recombinant character and its form of uniparental inheritance. This work seeks to offer a comprehensive review of the specialty literature in the field of population genetics, focusing specifically on the analysis of the human Y chromosome using a bibliometric approach and knowledge mapping. This involves establishing worldwide structural networks by identifying the primary research themes, authors, and papers that have had a significant impact on the academic community. The objective is to examine global publications by analyzing citations at both the document and country level. This will involve conducting co-citation analysis for references with a high number of citations, examining bibliographic coupling through journal analysis, analyzing the co-occurrence of keywords, and investigating collaboration between authors from a country perspective. The research papers have been extracted from the Web of Science database. The bibliometric analysis was performed using the Bibliometrix and VOSviewer software tools. The purpose of this article is to serve as a starting point for future research dedicated to the analysis of the diversity of human Y chromosome haplotypes. The objectives of the study were to identify and present the most cited publications and references with the highest number of citations, and to highlight current publications at the national level.
