A new study has identified 135 new genes that impact melanin production, which could be targeted to develop melanin-modifying drugs for vitiligo and other skin pigmentation disorders. The research utilized the CRISPR-Cas9 technology to genetically engineer cells, a method that could also be implemented for identifying genes that regulate melanin production in fungi and bacteria.
