Asian population genomics and public attitudes in Singapore
Ian McGonigle
(Maynooth University)
Short abstract:
GenomeAsia100K has investigated the genomic structure of Asian populations and has questioned the limits of ‘Asia.’ I also discuss public perceptions of genomics in Singapore.
Long abstract:
This presentation gives an overview of the work of GenomeAsia100K, a Singapore-based human genome project that has catalogued the major Asian ethnicities and provided new understandings about the boundaries of ethnic groups, group historical admixture, and thereby questions the limits ‘Asia’ in the context of human genomic ancestry. It also discusses survey research on public understandings and attitudes towards genomics in Singapore.
