Signatures of selection and gene conversion associated with human color vision variation.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Sept 2004

Verrelli Brian C, Tishkoff Sarah A

Abstract excerpt

Trichromatic color vision in humans results from the combination of red, green, and blue photopigment opsins. Although color vision genes have been the targets of active molecular and psychophysical research on color vision abnormalities, little is known about patterns of normal genetic variation in these genes among global human populations. The current study presents nucleotide sequence analyses and tests of...
