The secret of a natural blond.

Nature genetics - 1 Jul 2014

Hoekstra Hopi

Abstract excerpt

Elucidating the molecular mechanisms responsible for changes in gene expression is important for understanding the evolution of morphological traits. A new study identifies the molecular basis of the association between KITLG and blond hair color, presenting an intriguing example of how a single...
