This introductory essay argues that humanities and social science analysis can help explore the uncertain, transitional, and contested terrain of postgenomics, offering critical examination of the continuities and ruptures instituted by the spread of genomic data and technologies throughout...

... This chapter discusses the creation of multiethnic DNA databases in Singapore and why scientists there consider their genomic data to be more important than that captured by DeCODE in Iceland. Citing variability in DNA and populations in the Asian region, Singaporean biostatisticians claim...

...Known Unknowns This chapter discusses how Asian scientists interpret population genetic data to tell a story about the conceptual unity of diverse peoples on the continent. Against the backdrop of historical and continuing political tensions, scientists at Biopolis have led the effort to form...

... This essay examines the implications of current data production and dissemination regimes for credit attribution and reward systems associated with authorship in genomic science. Paying attention to these scientific practices sheds light on one of the new and exciting aspects of postgenomic...

...Enigmatic Variations The prologue opens with the popular image of personal genetics in California as a contrast to the collective approach to genomic science in Singapore. It argues that a study of contemporary medical science in Asia should move beyond the binary West–Asia framework...

The conclusion is not only that people assimilate new data about genetic ancestry to existing ideas about genetics, which have long formed part of the basic conceptual toolkit of many people in Latin America, but also that they tend to see...
