Fox News
An international team of scientists has identified 50 new genes for eye color.
"We knew of all these people whether they had brown, blue or any other color eyes. Computers searched their DNA for areas that have something to do with eye color. In this way, we found 61 genes associated with eye color, 50 of which were still unknown," Dr. Manfred Kayser of the Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam, said in an article on the university's website. "Many genes had to do with pigmentation, but we also found genes that say something about the structure and formation of the iris," the study's senior co-author added.More Related News
