The mapping of the human genome in science

Although the complexities around genetic testing in the African American community may seem unique given its long history of marginalization, similar difficulties can be found among other ethnicities when considering genome mapping research. For instance, individuals from indigenous tribes may find difficulty accessing accurate information regarding past generations due to lack of records which could provide further context around their lineage (Shreffler et al., 2016). Additionally those coming from mixed heritages often experience confusion over how best define themselves according culture traditionally associated with each parent’s background (Wray & Yuval-Davis 2011). Furthermore interracial couples will likely struggle when trying understand if particular gene variants are inherited via maternal or paternal lines making it hard predict any possible health outcomes (Kobrin et al., 2012). Therefore much like within African American communities there exists confusion surrounding how genes convey information about an individual's identity across multiple ethnic groups. Given these complications I would suggest warning labels should accompany commercially available tests so customers are aware potential inaccuracies that arise from their results; this could also include advice outlining what appropriate action they should take once receiving said data such as consulting medical professionals who specialize on specific topics related ancestry/ethnicity. Moreover I believe further research needs continued into better inform users regarding avenues explore beyond genomic mapping technology ei: using family records/oral histories narrative interviews etcetera order properly locate oneself within larger societal framework produce beneficial outcomes both now future contexts..
