요약	"This commissioned study describes an effort to clarify the scientific rationales for describing research participants and their group labels. We start with a historical view of how we got to our current state, then proceed to examine how else we could achieve our scientific aims, and follow with our recommendations and suggested implementations to improve genetic and genomic science. Our overarching goal is to motivate researchers to consider when population descriptors are necessary, which ones are appropriate for a specific type of genetics study design, whether multiple descriptors are necessary, and what additional information is needed for genetic dissection of phenotypes"--Page xviii.
요약	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 inconsistently and/or inappropriately to capture the complex patterns of continuous human genetic variation.In response to a request from the National Institutes of Health, the National Academies assembled an interdisciplinary committee of expert volunteers to conduct a study to review and assess existing methodologies, benefits, and challenges in using race, ethnicity, ancestry, and other population descriptors in genomics research. The resulting report focuses on understanding the current use of population descriptors in genomics research, examining best practices for researchers, and identifying processes for adopting best practices within the biomedical and scientific communities.
