Tendencias actuales de la investigación genómica. Sus perspectivas en Nicaragua

Jorge A. Huete-Pérez

Abstract: En esta conferencia me enfoco en las tendencias y el impacto de las nuevas ciencias moleculares, cuyas revelaciones están transformando el mundo e incluso heredándonos una nueva cosmovisión. A continuación, consideraré las posibilidades de que un país pequeño como Nicaragua pueda contribuir en estas tendencias.

Development or Despair? The Intentions and Realities of South-South Migration

The literature on the motivations and the impacts of remittances sent by international migrants to their families and communities strongly focus on their economic impacts and the flows of money from the global North to the South. The driving factors for remittance sending, closely embedded in motivations for migration, often overlook the conditions in which remittances are not sent, where households do not prosper, and community development does not happen. This ethnographic study uses the case of Nicaraguan migration to Costa Rica to examine the lives of the families of migrants in the context of rural to rural and South to South migration. The paper examines the intentions and realities of South-South migration through the lens of migrants and their families, and illuminates the other side of migration often invisible in the migrant’s home communities and the migration and development literature. The paper also shows the disparity in physical, economic, and emotional distance as it illustrates the unique structural challenges of South-South and especially rural to rural migrants. These structural barriers that create an unbridgeable distance between migrants and their families embody the chasm between the intentions and the realities of migration for individuals on both sides of the border.

Scientific-technical development in the field of natural science, specifically the discovery of human DNA polymorphism, has allowed us to identify people by their genetic fingerprint, i.e. their DNA, unique to every individual on earth. Its use in criminal investigations and forensic medicine has brought about the creation of DNA databases for discrete groups, populations and entire nations. In Nicaragua, the Molecular Biology Center of the Universidad Centroamericana has been a pioneer in this area of research, providing support for criminal investigations and resolving innumerable cases of paternity disputes. In this report we present the achievements of ten years of research, highlighting the technical aspects and, in particular, the application of the AmpFlSTR Identifiler system, as well as future prospects for scientific investigation in this area.
