Abstract Forensic DNA Phenoty** (FDP) comprises the prediction of a person's externally
visible characteristics regarding appearance, biogeographic ancestry and age from DNA of …

Major differences in facial morphology distinguish vertebrate species. Variation of facial
traits underlies the uniqueness of human individuals, and abnormal craniofacial …

This project has been carried out in the context of recent major developments in botics and
more widespread usage of virtual agents in personal and professional sphere. The general …

Genome-wide association scans of complex multipartite traits like the human face typically
use preselected phenotypic measures. Here we report a data-driven approach to …

The human face is complex and multipartite, and characterization of its genetic architecture
remains challenging. Using a multivariate genome-wide association study meta-analysis of …

Historically, craniofacial genetic research has understandably focused on identifying the
causes of craniofacial anomalies and it has only been within the last 10 years, that there has …

Neural crest cells are a vertebrate-specific migratory, multipotent cell population that give
rise to a diverse array of cells and tissues during development. Cranial neural crest cells, in …

Purpose Deep phenoty** is an emerging trend in precision medicine for genetic disease.
The shape of the face is affected in 30–40% of known genetic syndromes. Here, we …

The evolutionary reasons for variation in nose shape across human populations have been
subject to continuing debate. An import function of the nose and nasal cavity is to condition …

Facial morphology—a conspicuous feature of human appearance—is highly heritable.
Previous studies on the genetic basis of facial morphology were performed mainly in …
