GenomeAsia100K is a human genome project based at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore that aims to sequence one hundred thousand Asian genomes in an effort that addresses an ethnic bias towards Western populations in previous genomic research. GenomeAsia100K consists of a team of bioinformaticians, statisticians and population geneticists, and was initiated by the Nanyang Technological University in collaboration with industrial partners MedGenome (an Indian R&D company specializing in genomic data) and the California Biotech company Genentech. The GenomeAsia100K project is amongst the most ambitious precision medicine projects to date but it is not clear how the project will challenge or reshape understandings of ethnic and racial differences in Asian populations. Ian McGonigle, a scientist and cultural anthropologist, sat down with geneticist Stephan C. Schuster, the scientific chairman of GenomeAsia100K, to discuss the project and the implications of genomics for social identity in the 21st century.

全球科学与种族多样性相遇：Ian McGonigle采访GenomeAsia100K科学董事长Stephan Schuster。

GenomeAsia100K是一项基于新加坡南洋理工大学的人类基因组计划，旨在对十万个亚洲基因组进行测序，以解决以前的基因组研究中针对西方人群的种族偏见。GenomeAsia100K由生物信息学家，统计学家和种群遗传学家组成的团队，由南洋理工大学与工业合作伙伴MedGenome（一家专门从事基因组数据的印度研发公司）和加利福尼亚生物技术公司Genentech共同发起。GenomeAsia100K项目是迄今为止最雄心勃勃的精密医学项目之一，但尚不清楚该项目将如何挑战或重塑对亚洲人口种族和种族差异的理解。科学家和文化人类学家Ian McGonigle，
