August 2026 in “Journal of Genome Biotechnology and Genetics” This review delves into the intricate molecular mechanisms, genetic architecture, and evolutionary aspects of human pigmentation, highlighting the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. It emphasizes the polygenic nature of pigmentation, with numerous genetic variants influencing traits like skin, hair, and eye color. The review discusses the role of pigmentation in adaptive evolution and its applications in forensic DNA phenotyping, noting the probabilistic nature of genotype-phenotype relationships. Health implications, such as UVR response and cancer susceptibility, are explored, with a call for comprehensive datasets and responsible governance in forensic and health applications. Despite advancements, challenges remain in translating pigmentation research into practical applications due to genetic complexity and population diversity.
