Human evolutionary genomics: ethical and interpretive issues.
Genome-wide computational studies can now identify targets of natural selection. The unique information about humans these studies reveal, and the media attention they attract, indicate the need for caution and precision in communicating results. This need is exacerbated by ways in which evolutionary and genetic considerations have been misapplied to support discriminatory policies, by persiste...
متن کاملHarnessing genomics for evolutionary insights.
Next-generation DNA sequencing technologies can generate unprecedented amounts of genomic data, even for non-model organisms. Here we describe how these new technologies have facilitated recent key advances in ecology and evolutionary biology, and highlight several outstanding ecological and evolutionary questions that are distinctly suited to the innovations they provide. Importantly, using th...
متن کاملPublic Health Genomics (PHG): From Scientific Considerations to Ethical Integration
Recent advances in our understanding of the human genome have raised high hopes for the creation of personalized medicine able to predict diseases well before they occur, or that will lead to individualized and therefore more effective treatments. This possibility of a more accurate science of the prevention and surveillance of disease also illuminates the field of public health, where the tran...
