Abstract
Public Health Relevance Section Policies in the U.S. increasingly rely upon genomic information as a biometric to inform visa application processes, by verifying biological relationship claims or statehood claims, and broad DNA collection from non-criminals may help with missing persons, disaster victim, and terrorism investigations. The societal implications of these genomic applications are broad, with benefits and risks to the individuals undergoing testing, the communities in which they live, and the nation at large. This study will highlight the benefits and challenges of incorporating genomic information into policies, examining (1) how genomics is integrated into border processes, (2) the implications of new genomic tools to be implemented in the near future, and (3) perspectives on approaches to protect autonomy and privacy interests of individuals while maintaining the integrity of the genomic data and processes essential for national security.
