Troublesome Science by Call Number: UI Sciences Library Stacks QH455 .D47 2018ISBN: 9780231185721Publication Date: 2018-06-19An important call for researchers, journalists, and citizens to cast aside the belief that race has a biological meaning, for the sake of social justice and sound science alike.
John Novembre's publications
- Genetic landscapes reveal how human genetic diversity aligns with geographyHere, we use a recently developed spatially explicit method to estimate “effective migration” surfaces to visualize how human genetic diversity is geographically structured (the EEMS method)
- Expected patterns of local ancestry in a hybrid zoneIn cases where partial reproductive isolation exists, genomic patterns of variation in hybrid zones may provide clues about the barriers to gene flow which arose first during the early stages of speciation.
- Tread Lightly Interpreting Polygenic Tests of SelectionHere, we provide context for understanding polygenic tests and urge caution regarding how these results are interpreted and reported upon more broadly
