Exploring signatures of positive selection in pigmentation candidate genes in populations of East Asian ancestry

BACKGROUND: Currently, there is very limited knowledge about the genes involved in normal pigmentation variation in East Asian populations. We carried out a genome-wide scan of signatures of positive selection using the 1000 Genomes Phase I dataset, in order to identify pigmentation genes showing pu...
