| Research Abstract |
The easily-observed morphological traits such as fingerprints and skin colors had been studied in morphologic field. Recent studies suggest that many genes are responsible for regulation of traits with population-specific manner. In this study, we searched for polymorphisms of genes determining the total ridge counts of ten fingers by genome-wide polymorphism array technique. In addition, we developed a method to distinguish human animal origin based on FOXP2(forkhead box P2) that is involved in speech and language development in humans.
