DNA is the blueprint to what makes you who you are. It is the most valuable piece of personal information an individual will ever own. It is an appreciating asset that will continue to increase in value as genetic research continues to unlock mysteries in DNA over time. However, as soon as individuals send their saliva to a sequencing facility and their DNA is read, they relinquish all control over their data. Organisations that hold this data currently do not have the technology to safeguard it from data hacks/breaches, and many legally share DNA data in plain text to third parties in multi-million dollar deals. This means that individuals not only are excluded from taking part in any value their DNA may hold but lose ownership and privacy of highly sensitive DNA data. We at Genomes.io believe individuals should be able to own, control access to, and benefit from their most sensitive and valuable personal asset, their DNA.
