The current privacy challenge with personal genomics
Personal genomics services have transformed the understanding we have of our health and ancestry by offering insights into our biological heritage and health predispositions.
However, these services often rely on insecure methods for handling your data. This risks the exposure of your most sensitive biological information to unauthorized third parties and cyber threats.
Our privacy-protecting alternative: Monadic DNA
Monadic DNA allows you to investigate your health and ancestry, but with the assurance that your data remains protected.
How does it work?
- 1. Create a DNA Passport: Upload your 23andMe raw genomic data to create a DNA passport. This will make an encrypted file containing your genomic data.
- 2. Get Insights: This secure DNA passport can be used on privacy-respecting tools like SnipperBot and mtDog to learn about health and ancestry insights in an anonymous and private way.
- 3. Receive Attestations: After these services provide you with results about your encrypted DNA data, Monadic DNA can read your passport to display related attestations created. Attestations allow you to show verified results to providers without actually revealing your sensitive genomic data.
