How DNA Databases Violate Everyone's Privacy

If you're an American of European descent, there's a 60% chance you can be uniquely identified by public information in DNA databases. This is not information that you have made public; this is information your relatives have made public. Research paper: "Identity inference of genomic data using...

Vulnerability Identified in Genomic Data Sharing Network

A vulnerability in a network that processes genomic data could pave the way to some global genetic databases being hacked, and open the door to some serious privacy issues. Experts claim the problem lies in The Beacon Project, a network run by a coalition, Global Alliance for Genomics and Health,...
