Recent Positive Selection of a Human Androgen Receptor/Ectodysplasin A2 Receptor Haplotype and Its Relationship to Male Pattern Baldness

research Recent positive selection of a human androgen receptor/ectodysplasin A2 receptor haplotype and its relationship to male pattern baldness

42 citations , April 2009 in “Human Genetics”

This study suggests that the AGA risk haplotype in Europeans was driven to high frequency by positive selection, likely associated with a variant in the EDA2R gene.

research Skin transcriptomic and selection signature analyses identify ASIP as a key gene in cattle coat color determination

2 citations , April 2025 in “Frontiers in Genetics”

This study investigated the genetic basis of coat color variation in cattle using skin transcriptome and whole-genome analyses, identifying the ASIP gene as a significant determinant that is differentially expressed and under strong positive selection in black and brown cattle breeds.

research Selection of adult hair follicle stem cells and the effects of #beta#--catenin

January 2006 in “Chieh P'ou Hsueh Pao”

This study established a method for selecting human hair follicle stem cells through quick-adherence to collagen, and found that β-catenin plays a role in their proliferation and differentiation.

research Molecular evolution of the keratin associated protein gene family in mammals, role in the evolution of mammalian hair

119 citations , August 2008 in “BMC Evolutionary Biology”

This study found that while the KRTAP gene family is unique to mammals, humans have a similar number of these hair gene types as other primates despite having less body hair.

research Characterization of hairless (Hr) and FGF5genes provides insights into the molecular basis of hair loss in cetaceans

50 citations , February 2013 in “BMC evolutionary biology”

This study found that the Hr gene loss and positive selection for the FGF5 gene in cetaceans likely contributed to hair loss as these animals adapted to aquatic environments.
