Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have discovered key insights into the molecular basis of skin color variations among African populations. Their findings, published in Nature Genetics, ...

Skin color is one of the most diverse human traits, but the understanding of the complex genetic mechanisms behind this variation remains incomplete. This study investigated the genetic basis of ...

Sarah Tishkoff Of the University of Pennsylvania led a collaborative team of researchers who have discovered key insights into the molecular basis of skin color differences among Africans. “There’s so ...

Evidence for adaptation of human skin color to regional ultraviolet radiation suggests shared and distinct genetic variants across populations. However, skin color evolution and genetics in East ...
