Mapping and annotating genomic loci to prioritize genes and implicate distinct polygenic adaptations for skin color

Mapping and annotating genomic loci to prioritize genes and implicate distinct polygenic adaptations for skin color

Abstract 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 Asians are understudied. We quantified skin color in 48,433 East Asians using image analysis and...
