An EHU study analyzing different genetic markers associated with facial features of the European population has shown a strong link between 10 of these markers and the facial morphology of people from the Iberian Peninsula. The researcher Belén Navarro, the author of the study, highlights the importance of carrying out research in specific populations to obtain prediction models that can be used to reconstruct a person’s face using DNA samples. The study is published in the journal Scientific Reports.
