Mind the gap: how multiracial individuals get left behind when we talk about race, ethnicity, and ancestry in genomic research
It is widely acknowledged that there is a diversity problem in genomics stemming from the vast underrepresentation of non-European genetic ancestry populations. While many challenges exist to address this gap, a major co…
DiversityThe language of race, ethnicity, and ancestry in human genetic research
The language commonly used in human genetics can inadvertently pose problems for multiple reasons. Terms like "ancestry", "ethnicity", and other ways of grouping people can have complex, often poorly understood, or multi…
Genetic similarity versus genetic ancestry groups as sample descriptors in human genetics
A common sample descriptor in human genomics studies is that of 'genetic ancestry group', with terms such as 'European genetic ancestry' or 'East Asian genetic ancestry' frequently used in publications to describe the ge…
Implications of self-identified race, ethnicity, and genetic ancestry on genetic association studies in biobanks within health systems
Precision medicine aims to create biomedical solutions tailored to specific factors that affect disease risk and treatment responses within the population. The success of the genomics era and recent widespread availabili…
Novel probabilistic models of spatial genetic ancestry with applications to stratification correction in genome-wide association studies
Genetic variation in human populations is influenced by geographic ancestry due to spatial locality in historical mating and migration patterns. Spatial population structure in genetic datasets has been traditionally ana…
