The complete absence of cytoplasmic γ‐actin results in no discernible phenotype in mice or primary fibroblasts

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Mice and mouse embryonic fibroblasts homozygous for an Actg1 allele edited to translate β‐actin instead of γ‐actin (Actg1‐coding beta) are devoid of γ‐actin protein. We demonstrate that these Actg1c‐b/c‐b mice present with no measurable phenotype in survival, body mass, activity, muscle contractility, or auditory function.

Colorimetric skin tone scale for improved accuracy and reduced perceptual bias of human skin tone annotations [PDF]

arXiv
Human image datasets used to develop and evaluate technology should represent the diversity of human phenotypes, including skin tone. Datasets that include skin tone information frequently rely on manual skin tone ratings based on the Fitzpatrick Skin Type (FST) or the Monk Skin Tone (MST) scales in lieu of the actual measured skin tone of the image ...
