We Found a Bunch of New Eye Color Genes | SciShow News

The video discusses advancements in organoid research, focusing on lab-grown mini-organs that mimic real organs. It highlights the creation of tear gland organoids that can 'cry' and their potential in studying diseases like Sjogren's syndrome. The video also explores the complexity of eye color genetics, revealing that eye color is influenced by multiple genes, contrary to the simple Mendelian trait model. Recent studies identified 50 new genes related to eye color, offering insights into pigmentation conditions and challenging previous genetic assumptions.

How does the recent research change our understanding of eye color genetics?

What implications do the findings about eye color genetics have for understanding diseases related to pigmentation?
