Abstract: Abstract Partner preferences are formed by several mechanisms, including an imprinting-like effect (parent-similarity) and homogamy (self-similarity). It is still unknown, however, whether these preferences remain stable throughout an individual’s lifetime. We have therefore tested the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0239131
Abstract: The genotype of a single SNP, rs12913832, is the primary predictor of blue and brown eye colours. The genotypes rs12913832:AA and rs12913832:GA are most often observed in individuals with brown eye colours, whereas rs12913832:GG is… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes14030698
Abstract: The OCA2-HERC2 region is strongly associated with human pigmentation, especially eye colour. The HERC2 SNP rs12913832 is currently the best-known predictor for blue and brown eye colour. However, in a previous study we found that… read more here.
