Gene conversion, one of the two mechanisms of homologous recombination, involves the
unidirectional transfer of genetic material from a'donor'sequence to a highly homologous' …

In this review, we focus on the biogeographical distribution of genetic variation and address
whether or not populations cluster according to the popular concept of'race'. We show that …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

Compared with other mammals, the genomes of humans and other primates show an
enrichment of large, interspersed segmental duplications (SDs) with high levels of sequence …

The contributions of genetics research to the science of normal and defective color vision
over the previous few decades are reviewed emphasizing the developments in the 25years …

Through cultural innovation and changes in habitat and ecology, there have been a number
of major dietary shifts in human evolution, including meat eating, cooking, and those …

Visual Delight in Architecture examines the many ways that our lives are enriched by the
presence of natural daylight and window views within our buildings. It makes a compelling …

Light absorption by photopigment molecules expressed in the photoreceptors in the retina is
the first step in seeing. Two types of photoreceptors in the human retina are responsible for …

Recent advances in genoty** technologies have facilitated genome-wide scans for
natural selection. Detecting targets of natural selection sheds light on human evolution and it …

Imagine you are sitting at Starbuck glancing at the blue coffee mug in front of you. The mug
is blue on the outside, white on the inside. It's large for a mug. And it's nearly full of freshly …
