Skin pigmentation is one of the most variable phenotypic traits in humans. A non-synonymous substitution (rs1426654) third exon SLC24A5 accounts for lighter skin Europeans but not East Asians. previous genome-wide association study carried out a heterogeneous sample UK immigrants South Asian descent suggested that this gene also contributes significantly to variation among In present study, we have quantitatively assessed largely homogeneous cohort 1228 individuals from Southern region...
Abstract Objectives Skin color is a highly visible and variable trait across human populations. It not yet clear how evolutionary forces interact to generate phenotypic diversity. Here, we sought unravel through an integrative framework the role played by three factors—demography migration, sexual selection, natural selection—in driving skin diversity in India. Methods reflectance data were collected from 10 diverse socio‐cultural populations along latitudinal expanse of India, including...
Abstract The Indian cheetah was hunted to extinction by the mid-20th century. While analysis of 139 bp mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has confirmed that part Asiatic subspecies ( Acinonyx jubatus venaticus ), detailed relationships between populations remains unclear due limited genetic data. We clarify these studying larger fragments mtDNA, both from an museum specimen and two African cheetah, one modern historic, imported into India at different times. Our results suggest most recent common...
Abstract Objectives Skin color is a classic example of visible human trait that varies widely among and between populations; it has evolved finely balancing photoprotection 25(OH)D (vitamin D) synthesis as opposing selection forces. While the health effects vitamin D deficiency in Northern European populations are profound, we yet to accurately characterize evolutionary relationship requirements skin diversity.
