The fact is that proprietary databases don't work for such basic and broadly needed information as the sequence of the human genome.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Not only can consumers handle their personal genetic information, but they are getting genomically oriented and anchored about such data.
There is a long history of how DNA sequencing can bring certainty to people's lives.
We all want our genetic information. Why would you not want genetic information?
Your genome knows much more about your medical history than you do.
If genetic research doesn't seemed to have lived up to its therapeutic promise, it's because sequencing is just too slow and expensive.
Your genome isn't really secret.
In genomics, there's a massive amount of information in which you can look for patterns and develop insights.
Your genome sequence will become a vital part of your medical record, thereby providing critical information about how to optimize your wellness.
If we can put a man on the moon and sequence the human genome, we should be able to devise something close to a universal digital public library.
Like the early days of the Internet, the dawn of personal genomics promises benefits and pitfalls that no one can foresee.
