The ethics of characterizing difference: guiding principles on using racial categories in human genetics

Sandra Soo-Jin Lee et al. Genome Biol. 2008.

Abstract

We are a multidisciplinary group of Stanford faculty who propose ten principles to guide the use of racial and ethnic categories when characterizing group differences in research into human genetic variation.
