The potential of constructing useful DNA-based facial composites is forensically of great
interest. Given the significant identity information coded in the human face these predictions …

The idea that we can reconstruct a human face from a DNA sample has great appeal: DNA
from a crime scene could be used to create a facial image of a suspect; the faces of …

The identification of the genes involved in morphological variation in nature is still a major
challenge. Here, we explore a new approach: we combine 178 samples from a natural …

This essay outlines the emergence of a contemporary synthesis regarding racial thinking in
genetic science and in society more broadly. A departure from what Julian Huxley in 1942 …

Forensic DNA Phenotyping (“FDP”), estimating the externally visible characteristics (“EVCs”)
of the source of human DNA left at a crime scene, is evolving from science fiction toward …

In their perspective piece on Claes et al.[1], Hallgrimsson and colleagues [2] make some
points worthy of discussion, but do so largely in the context of a series of strong opinions that …

Background: Craniofacial morphology has been reported to be highly heritable, but little is
known about which genetic variants influence normal facial variation in the general …

This paper represents a survey of the existing approaches to deploy biometric technologies
in biomedical and health care applications. It also shows recent examples and pilot projects …

Natural selection defined by differential survival and reproduction of individuals in
populations is influenced by genetic, developmental, and environmental factors operating at …

Numerous studies have found population variations in craniofacial traits and sexual
dimorphism of the human face, but little research has been done to investigate the impact of …
