In this episode, I continue my interview with Dr.Hilary Archbold, the genetics course coordinator at UofM (featured in Episode 1) and also bring in Dr.Scott Roberts, a Professor in Health Behavior & Health Education at UofM's School of Public Health, to talk about genetic testing. We begin with a technical overview of how genetic sequencing and genotyping work and also describe differences between traditional clinical testing and direct-to-consumer testing (like 23andMe and Ancestry). The rest of the episode is dedicated to exploring biases in genetic testing, the social and ethical implications of receiving testing results, and concerns about privacy.
