Translating Population Difference: The Use and Re-Use of Genetic Ancestry in Brazilian Cancer Genetics.

Medical anthropology - 1 Jan 2016

Gibbon Sahra

Abstract excerpt

In the past ten years, there has been an expansion of scientific interest in population genetics linked to both understanding histories of human migration and the way that population difference and diversity may account for and/or be implicated in health and disease. In this article, I examine how particular aspects of a globalizing research agenda related to population differences and genetic ancestry are taken...
