Shades of complexity: New perspectives on the evolution and genetic architecture of human skin
8 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Like many highly variable human traits, more than a dozen genes are known to contribute to the full range of skin color. However, the historical bias in favor of genetic studies in European and European-derived populations has blinded us to the magnitude of pigmentation's complexity. As deliberate efforts are being made to better characterize diverse global populations and new sequencing technologies, better...
