The Standardization of Race and Ethnicity in Biomedical Science Editorials and UK Biobanks

29 May 2008

Abstract excerpt

As the search for human genetic variation has become a priority for biomedical science, debates have resurfaced about the use of race and ethnicity as scientific classifications. In this paper we consider the relationship between race, ethnicity and genetics, using insights from science and technology studies (STS) about processes of classification and standardization. We examine how leading biomedical science...
