The proposed book sets out to provide an introduction and overview of the effect of new genetics technology on current ideas about race and genes and the controversy this concept generates. Drawing upon recent scientific research studies in sociology and humanities and the authors own ethnographic research this book is intended for an interdisciplinary audience of undergraduate and graduate students scholars and scientists interested in understanding the contours of the debate over the meaning of race for human genetics. A central objective of the book is to discuss the basic science and assumptions underpinning core claims in human genetics on key issues including but not limited to relatedness significance risk and difference. The book investigates four major arenas in which genomic technologies are beginning to have significant influence on how social understandings of race group difference and identity are being shaped by developments in human genetics. Discussion of each of the four areas of research addressed in this book will focus on how knowledge about racial difference is produced and build on conventional ideas about race. This analysis places in stark relief the implicit assumptions about population differences and the interpretation of genomic research by the public. DNA Biobanking and Human Genetic Variation Panels Ancestry Testing and Direct to Consumer Services Pharmacogenomics and Targeted Therapeutics DNA Mining in the Forensic Sciences New research shows that socially defined commonalities in groups of people such as race are likely not linked to genes. However the scientific community and the public stubbornly cling to the coupling of race with genes." Despite great pains taken by some scientists policy makers and journalists to illustrate a more complex and accurate view of race and current patterns of genetic sequences the emerging framework is strangely reminiscent of earlier facile perspectives of race as genetically determinative. This pendulum shift demands careful consideration of the meaning of difference in the context of emerging genetic technologies and the broader impact on our understanding of race. Highly sophisticated developments in sequencing human DNA have issued a strong challenge to the current understanding of human identity and group difference. The official announcements of the completion of the Human Genome Project contained one specific unified message: human beings are essentially the same. Despite the fanfare around this pronouncement this message was not new. Long before the Human Genome Project geneticists had contended that differences between individuals accounted for a mere 0.01% of the genome (Lewontin 1982). These findings and developments in genetic knowledge and technologies in the 1990s prompted some scholars to imagine a post-racial genomic science that renders race obsolete by supplanting race and its proxies of skin color hair texture and eye shape with a direct focus on the gene (Gilroy 2000). However in the emerging era of the "new genetics " research has become focused on precisely these minute differences in gene sequences: in the study of ancestry in population genetics gene-disease associations and drug response and genetic approaches in the forensic sciences where race operates implicitly as a biological variable. While many scholars in the humanities and social sciences have forged paradigms of race that detach biology from social identity (Stepan 1983 Barkan 1993) questions about ancestry genetic relatedness and conventional racial categories have challenged the concept of race as a social construction. As the new genetics comes of age ongoing struggles over the meaning of race and identity must be reinterpreted in light of emerging research on the significance of human genetic difference. The proposed book addresses the current gap in studies of race and ethnicity in genomic science by critically examining the focus on using it to identify "differences " and its impact on current paradigms of racial identity. By investigating human genetic variation research and its implications for population genetics biomedicine and forensic sciences this book will discuss three major themes of racialization (Omi and Winant 1986) that run, RUE5329.
