Abstract
To better understand the opportunities and implications to global health in applying knowledge of human genomic variation in emerging economies we conducted case studies in Mexico, Thailand, South Africa and India. Our findings are relevant to the field of genomics as it intersects with public health and is a potential source of economic development in the developing world.
