1 / 6 | The ability to metabolize alcohol effectively is an evolutionary adaptation found in populations with a long history of agriculture and fermentation. Which enzyme is responsible for this ...

Their findings highlight three specific regions, SLC24A5, SLC45A2 and OCA2 in the genes of African Americans that show strong associations with skin color and vitamin D deficiency. The scientists hope ...

Their last knock out test was on the gene SLC24A5, which led to change in zebrafish’s skin colour. This gene is found in humans, too, and it must have the same role. When Cheng compared the ...

A variant of the gene SLC24A5 is the primary contributor to lighter skin colour in the European branch, but a corresponding variant driving light skin colour evolution in the East Asian branch remains ...

Black participants with a genetic variant in the gene called SLC24A5 were more likely to have vitamin D levels of 12 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) or less. Normal levels range between 20 and ...

Another gene, SLC24A5, gave Europeans lighter skin. Anita Foeman, who directs the DNA Discussion Project at West Chester University in Pennsylvania, told Kolbert that her genes showed that some of ...

The gene that causes lighter skin pigmentation, SLC24A5, was introduced from eastern African to southern African populations just 2,000 years ago. Strong positive selection caused this gene to ...
