>An international team, led by scientists from the School of Science at IUPUI and Erasmus MC University Medical Center Rotterdam in the Netherlands, has developed a novel tool to accurately predict eye, hair and skin color from human biological material -- even a small DNA sample -- left, for example, at a crime scene or obtained from archeological remains. This all-in-one pigmentation profile tool provides a physical description of the person in a way that has not previously been possible by generating all three pigment traits together using a freely available webtool.
>The tool is designed to be used when standard forensic DNA profiling is not helpful because no reference DNA exists against which to compare the evidence sample.
>The HIrisPlex-S DNA test system is capable of simultaneously predicting eye, hair and skin color phenotypes from DNA. Users, such as law enforcement officials or anthropologists, can enter relevant data using a laboratory DNA analysis tool, and the webtool will predict the pigment profile of the DNA donor.
>"We have previously provided law enforcement and anthropologists with DNA tools for eye color and for combined eye and hair color, but skin color has been more difficult," said forensic geneticist Susan Walsh from IUPUI, who co-directed the study. "Importantly, we are directly predicting actual skin color divided into five subtypes -- very pale, pale, intermediate, dark and dark to black -- using DNA markers from the genes that determine an individual's skin coloration. This is not the same as identifying genetic ancestry. You might say it's more similar to specifying a paint color in a hardware store rather than denoting race or ethnicity.
>"If anyone asks an eyewitness what they saw, the majority of time they mention hair color and skin color. What we are doing is using genetics to take an objective look at what they saw," Walsh said.

Makes me wonder when DNA analysis shows that black people is responsible for most of the crime, will the left label the Science as racist or the DNA as racist or will both be racist?
Also would be fun to see statistics of how many brown-eyed criminals have been detected with the previous method.

Everything will be racist when it is useful for it to be racist.

Don't you know, all science, including DNA is racist. We can use magic to cast lightning.

Oh boy I can't wait until we get the government trying to avoid using these details.
Before they could say "Asian" to cover for the muslims, how exactly will you cover this up? Hmm?
When they're straight up lying about the skin/hair/eye color of the criminal, how long will it take before even the left stops supporting this madness?

Here's what I wonder: do ancient Egyptian mummies contain DNA that could be used in this process to ascertain once and for all the race of the Pharaohs? Seems like the results could be hilarious.

Hahahha.. This should be done just to put another nail in the coffin of "we wuz kangs n shit" but negros like leftists seldom understand facts.

>The team investigated a total of 151 mummies from a site about 100 kilometers south of Cairo. These mummies were excavated in the early 20th century, and radiocarbon dating showed that their lives spanned 1,300 years, or from about 1388 BCE to 426 CE. There was no usable genetic material in any of the remaining soft tissue, but some left in the bones and teeth. Ninety of these mummies had incomplete DNA, and only three retained a completely intact genome. These three mummies are the ones the scientists focused on.

>The team then compared the ancient mummy DNA to the DNA of both ancient and modern people in the same region. It turns out that, on a genetic level, the ancient Egyptians aren’t so different from modern people living in the Near East. In fact, they have more in common with those in the Near East than today’s Egyptians. For example, the mummies didn’t have any DNA from sub-Saharan Africa, whereas about 20 percent of today’s Egyptians have sub-Saharan genes. Study lead author Johannes Krause told Science that the modern-day variation might be because either the spread of Islam or more trade increased contact between the different parts of Africa.

When i saw the blonde mummies for the first time i was skeptic, you know, the albinism thing, but then it turns out the mummies have pretty much the same DNA that french people has.
