Privacy Risks from Genomic Data-Sharing Beacons.

American journal of human genetics - 5 Nov 2015

Shringarpure Suyash S, Bustamante Carlos D

Abstract excerpt

The human genetics community needs robust protocols that enable secure sharing of genomic data from participants in genetic research. Beacons are web servers that answer allele-presence queries--such as "Do you have a genome that has a specific nucleotide (e.g., A) at a specific genomic position (e.g., position 11,272 on chromosome 1)?"--with either "yes" or "no." Here, we show that individuals in a beacon are...
