In the U.S., where a significant segment of the population has unknown ancestral origins, researchers use MALD to tease out continental <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Haplotype\" target=\"_blank\">haplotypes<\/a> and (re)assign ancestry to disease samples. While MALD is fast-becoming a primary medical genetic technology, its publicly known uses lie in the service fields of recreational <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DNA\" target=\"_blank\">DNA<\/a> genealogy and forensic profiling. Here, private companies use MALD to tell clients where their ancestors likely came from or to advise law enforcement on what kind of racially-defined features to look for in a suspect. This paper looks at the practical assemblage of MALD applications and its effects in defining ancestry in terms of race. Through this assemblage, society produces the genome as racial and race as genetic. Moreover, identity is refashioned through a genomic knowledge of self.<\/p>\n<p>Purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/ijt.cgpublisher.com\/product\/pub.42\/prod.491\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mapping Race through Admixture The International Journal of Technology, Knowledge and Society Volume 4, Issue 4 (2008) pages 79-84 Catherine Bliss, Andrew W.
