Genetics for the human race

The human genome contains both enough variation for us all to be genetically unique individuals and little enough variation that it is clear we are all members of one human race. The free online supplement of the journal Nature Genetics, "Genetics for the human race", presents a comprehensive survey of what we currently know about the science of human genetic variation. It emerges that the widespread use of "race" as a proxy is inhibiting scientists from doing their job of separating and identifying the real environmental and genetic causes of disease.
