The assessment of molecular markers for skin colour determination in the South African population

Molecular markers associated with skin colour need to be investigated to determine viability and discriminatory power within the SA population. The use of phenotyping as a tool to aid forensic investigation is becoming incorporated internationally and its use within SA needs to be considered. This p...
