Using Population Descriptors in Genetics and Genomics Research : A New Framework for an Evolving Field

Using Population Descriptors in Genetics and Genomics Research A New Framework for an Evolving Field

Genetic and genomic information has become far more accessible, and research using human genetic data has grown exponentially over the past decade. Genetics and genomics research is now being conducted by a wide range of investigators across disciplines, who often use population descriptors inconsis...
