Most prehistoric Europeans had dark skin, hair and eyes well into the Iron Age, about 3,000 years ago, new research finds.

This article explores 6-base genome sequencing and how it is empowering researchers to expand their studies to include both genetic and epigenetic data.

Eyes, those fascinating windows to our souls, are also incredibly varied. From a vibrant blue to a warm brown, each shade ...

According to research, your eye color says more about your personality than you might think. A study conducted at the Orebro University in Sweden found that the genes responsible for forming our ...

Darker eyes and skin are common in locales closer to the equator. At least 10 different genes play a role in eye color. Most eye color genes have something to do with the transport, production, and ...

Hair is a distinct part of what makes us unique, just like our skin and eye color. Some of us have more hair than others, including facial hair. A complex interplay of genetics and hormones ...

This study achieved CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), China's most economically vital freshwater fish. Targeting the tyrb gene critical for pigmentation were ...

Nicholas VanKuren, Nathan Buerkle, and their co-authors dive into the genetics and neurobiology of mate choice behavior and find surprising variation in the genome and the eye that correlates with ...

Here, scientists sequenced genetic material from all microbes within an environment, allowing them to reconstruct a birds-eye view of ... sea fish have lost genes associated with vision, one species ...

Some animals have eyes that change color as they grow from baby to adult. Eye color is complicated, but it all comes down to genetics that determine pigment, light scattering, and eye structure (how ...
