Different differences: The use of 'genetic ancestry' versus race in biomedical human genetic research
2010
Social Studies of Science
This article presents findings from our ethnographic research on biomedical scientists' studies of human genetic variation and common complex disease. ...
We introduce the concept of 'genome geography', to analyze how some researchers studying human genetic variation 'locate' stretches of DNA in different places and times. ...
Nevertheless, there are disciplinary differences that made for sometimes tense interactions in the collaborations between the medical geneticists and population geneticists around EIGENSTRAT and around ...
