Molecular genetics of human pigmentation diversity.

Human molecular genetics - 15 Apr 2009

Sturm Richard A

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis underlying normal variation in the pigmentary traits of skin, hair and eye colour has been the subject of intense research directed at understanding the diversity seen both between and within human populations. A combination of approaches have been used including comparative genomics of candidate genes and the identification of regions of the human genome under positive selection, together with...
