通过完成人类基因组计划,现在可以获得大量的生物信息,这带来了机遇和挑战。基因组时代有可能促进对人类遗传变异及其在人类健康和疾病中的作用的理解。基因组学研究的一个挑战是了解基因组学、种族和民族之间的关系,以及揭示这些关系的意义。关于基因组研究中种族和民族概念的强有力的学术论述应该扩大到包括社会和行为科学家。需要跨学科的研究团队。心理学家,以及其他社会和行为科学家,与遗传学家和其他自然科学家合作。
The vast amount of biological information that is now available through the completion of the Human Genome Project presents opportunities and challenges. The genomic era has the potential to advance an understanding of human genetic variation and its role in human health and disease. A challenge for genomics research is to understand the relationships between genomics, race, and ethnicity and the implications of uncovering these relationships. Robust and scholarly discourse on. the concept of race and ethnicity in genomic research should be expanded to include social and behavioral scientists. Interdisciplinary research teams are needed in. which psychologists, as well as other social and behavioral scientists, work collaboratively with geneticists and other natural scientists.
