Long-range familial searches in recreational DNA databases: expansion of affected populations, the participatory turn, and the co-production of biovalue

Long-range familial searches in recreational DNA databases have been the subject of intense interest since the high-profile case of the Golden State Killer. This technique has raised considerable media attention and has sparked immediate criticism from forensic geneticists and other professionals, regulators, policy advisors, and ethicists. However, the literature on this topic does not capture the complexities resulting from the commodification of genetic data and the marketization of science.

In this article, I explore how long-range familial searches conducted in recreational DNA databases reframe the trajectory of forensic genetics. Arguing that the advent and consolidation of long-range familial searches in recreational DNA databases represent the fourth wave of forensic genetics, I detail its implications, namely, the expansion of affected populations, the participatory turn, and the co-production of biovalue.

娱乐性DNA数据库中的远程家族研究:受影响人群的扩大,参与性转向和生物价值的联合产生

自从“金州杀手”(Golden State Killer)案备受瞩目以来,在休闲DNA数据库中进行远程家族搜索一直是引起人们极大兴趣的主题。该技术引起了媒体的广泛关注,并引起法医遗传学家和其他专业人员,监管机构,政策顾问和伦理学家的立即批评。但是,有关该主题的文献并未捕捉到遗传数据商品化和科学市场化所带来的复杂性。

在本文中,我将探讨在娱乐性DNA数据库中进行的远程家族搜索如何重塑法医遗传学的轨迹。我认为,在娱乐性DNA数据库中进行远程家族检索的出现和巩固代表了法医遗传学的第四次浪潮,我详细介绍了其含义,即受影响人群的扩大,参与性转向和生物价值的共同产生。
