Untitled Slide

  • Diversity of human appearance and form has intrigued biologists for centuries

Untitled Slide

  • From a clinical perspective, inadequate protection from sunlight has a major impact on human health
  • In Australia, the lifetime cumulative incidence of skin cancer approaches 50%,

Untitled Slide

  • variation in human skin color represents a chance for cell biologists, geneticists, and anthropologists to learn more about the biogenesis and movement of subcellular organelles,

Untitled Slide

  • Recent developments in several areas provide a tremendous opportunity to better understand the diversity of human pigmentation.

Untitled Slide

  • This approach is especially great given the dismal success rate in molecular identification of complex genetic diseases. understanding more about the genetic architecture of skin color may prove helpful in designing studies to figure out other quantitative traits.
