Genomic supremacy: the harm of conflating genetic ancestry and race
Human Genomics, 2022 Background Recent studies have reignited the tinderbox of debate surrounding the use of race and ancestry in medicine. These controversial studies have argued for a strong correlation between genetic ancestry and race, justifying continued use of genetic

Mapping Human Genetic Ancestry [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2007 The human genome is a mosaic with respect to its evolutionary history. Based on a phylogenetic analysis of 23,210 DNA sequence alignments from human, chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan, and rhesus, we present a map of human genetic ancestry. For about 23% of our genome, we share no immediate genetic ancestry with our closest living relative, the chimpanzee.

Identity and genetic ancestry tracing [PDF]
BMJ, 2002 Tracing genetic identity can lead to resolution of uncertainty but can cause more problems than it solves. Will establishment of genetic identity be cohesive or divisive? What can our genes tell us about who we are? The answer to that question depends on exactly what you want to know.

Co-constructing ancestry through direct-to-consumer genetic testing
TATuP – Zeitschrift für Technikfolgenabschätzung in Theorie und Praxis, 2021 Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic ancestry tests offered via the internet supposedly uncover the ancestry of those tested. While these tests might be seen as a means to find a biologically inscribed and fixed genealogy, this paper explores how companies ...

Visualizing Genetic Programming Ancestries [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2016 on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion, 2016 Previous work has demonstrated the utility of graph databases as a tool for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing ancestry in evolutionary computation runs. That work focused on sections of individual runs, whereas this paper illustrates the application of these ideas on the entirety of large runs (up to three hundred thousand individuals) and ...

Genetic Ancestry in Lung-Function Predictions [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2010 Self-identified race or ethnic group is used to determine normal reference standards in the prediction of pulmonary function. We conducted a study to determine whether the genetically determined percentage of African ancestry is associated with lung function and whether its use could improve predictions of lung function among persons who identified ...
