Over the past decade, melanoma has led the field in new cancer treatments, with impressive
gains in on-treatment survival but more modest improvements in overall survival. Melanoma …

Skin color diversity is the most variable and noticeable phenotypic trait in humans resulting
from constitutive pigmentation variability. This paper will review the characterization of skin …

INTRODUCTION Variation in pigmentation among human populations may reflect local
adaptation to regional light environments, because dark skin is more photoprotective …

The precise genetic origins of the first Neolithic farming populations in Europe and
Southwest Asia, as well as the processes and the timing of their differentiation, remain …

Recently, the field of predicting phenotypes of externally visible characteristics (EVCs) from
DNA genotypes with the final aim of concentrating police investigations to find persons …

Human skin pigmentation is the product of two clines produced by natural selection to adjust
levels of constitutive pigmentation to levels of UV radiation (UVR). One cline was generated …

Melanocytes are phenotypically prominent but histologically inconspicuous skin cells. They
are responsible for the pigmentation of skin and hair, and thereby contribute to the …

Assessing the genetic contribution of Neanderthals to non-disease phenotypes in modern
humans has been difficult because of the absence of large cohorts for which common …

Hair, skin and eye colors are highly heritable and visible traits in humans. We carried out a
genome-wide association scan for variants associated with hair and eye pigmentation, skin …

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 …
