Genomes.io vs Own It

We believe you should own your genome. So we built Genomes.io. Genomes.io is a private and secure DNA data bank that puts you in full control of your genome. Using the Genomes.io Authenticator app, you control access to your DNA data that is securely stored inside your virtual DNA Vault. These vaults harness next-generation security technologies, which means even we, as a technology provider, can’t access your DNA data. You can choose to run specific genomic reports (e.g. personal traits, carrier status, health risks) on your data to learn more about yourself in a way that suits you best, without ever revealing this information to a third-party. But most importantly, you can give permission and anonymously share your DNA data directly with researchers that need it most. You receive full transparency on how your data will be accessed, the research it will be used in, and you can even earn by doing so! View a history of how your data has been accessed in the Actions tab. A ledger of your earnings in the Wallet tab. And configure how you want to share data in the Settings tab. The more data you decide to share, the more you will earn. We’ll make sure doing so always ensures full data privacy, security and ownership. OUR STORY Your DNA is not yours, until now. Data sharing is fundamental to powering the data-driven economy we live in. And DNA data is the next big thing. Your DNA is powerful. Scientists desperately and increasingly need access to DNA data to supercharge medical research and innovation, as we move into a future where healthcare is tailored specifically to you. Your DNA is valuable. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies spend tens of millions of dollars accessing large genomic databases for research and development purposes - a industry trend set to skyrocket as true personalised medicine becomes a reality. However, DNA data is different. Your genome is the biological blueprint that makes you, you. It is the most comprehensive and sensitive piece of personal information you will ever have. It is uniquely yours, and is by definition, personally identifiable. This coupled with the fact it is potentially highly exploitable and cannot be changed, means it must be treated differently to other data. Genomes.io addresses privacy, security and ownership concerns of DNA testing and sharing. By doing so, we aim to build the world’s largest user-owned genomic data bank and secure the future of personalised medicine.
