Abstract Forensic DNA Phenotyping (FDP) comprises the prediction of a person's externally
visible characteristics regarding appearance, biogeographic ancestry and age from DNA of …

Latin Americans arguably represent the largest recently admixed populations in the world.
This reflects a history of massive settlement by immigrants (mostly Europeans and Africans) …

Abstract We initiate the Westlake BioBank for Chinese (WBBC) pilot project with 4,535 whole-
genome sequencing (WGS) individuals and 5,841 high-density genotyping individuals, and …

We report a genome-wide association scan in> 6,000 Latin Americans for pigmentation of
skin and eyes. We found eighteen signals of association at twelve genomic regions. These …

We report a genome-wide association scan for facial features in∼ 6,000 Latin Americans.
We evaluated 14 traits on an ordinal scale and found significant association (P values< 5× …

We report a genome-wide association scan in over 6,000 Latin Americans for features of
scalp hair (shape, colour, greying, balding) and facial hair (beard thickness, monobrow …

Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry
mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans and Sub-Saharan …

Facial morphology—a conspicuous feature of human appearance—is highly heritable.
Previous studies on the genetic basis of facial morphology were performed mainly in …

A recent study conducted the first genome-wide scan for selection in Inuit from Greenland
using single nucleotide polymorphism chip data. Here, we report that selection in the region …

To characterize the genetic basis of facial features in Latin Americans, we performed a
genome-wide association study (GWAS) of more than 6000 individuals using 59 landmark …
