In this episode, we talked to Aashish Jha, a microbiologist, on mapping genomes and gut microbiomes of populations in South and West Asia. We also explored the following questions: What is the relationship between diseases, diets, and population movement? How does microbiology complement historical research? Why is it important to study populations traditionally underrepresented in genetic research sample groups?
