Blockchain not just for Bitcoin; it can control one’s DNA – A recent study has found out

A recent research finding has shown that Blockchain technology is not just for Bitcoin, but can also secure and store genomes for the control of one’s DNA.

According to the Weird news report released by Yale researchers with the headline: ‘’ Blockchain not just for bitcoin: It can secure and store genomes, too’’, Blockchain is a digital technology that allows a secure and decentralized record of transactions that is increasingly used for everything from cryptocurrencies to artwork, but they’ve leveraged the technology to give individuals control of their own genomes. Genomes are the complete set of genetic materials of an organism

The research findings were published on June 29 in the journal Genome Biology.

Millions of people seeking insights into their ancestry or information about medical risks have already donated their genetic information to private commercial companies. Whether they know it or not, however, they also have given up control over how that information is used or sold.

As weird as it sounds, Blockchains are used to store genomes and the related new technology, dubbed SAMchain seeks to enable the individuals secure and control their stored genetic information.

According to the report, The SAMchain technology could also speed up the advance of truly personalized medicine, the study authors say, enabling patients to provide direct access to their genomic data to doctors for proper diagnosis and treatment medical conditions, investigations or even sell it to pharmaceutical companies.

Senior author Mark Gerstein, the Albert L. Williams Professor of Biomedical Informatics and professor of molecular biophysics and biochemistry, of computer science, and of statistics and data science said that their primary goal was to give ownership of genomic data back to the individual, in terms of prioritizing the security of the genetic data. “Corruption, change, or loss of personal genomes could create problems in patient care and research integrity in the future.”. he said.

The Yale team in the research work stored the differences between an individual’s DNA against a standard reference genome in linked blocks of the blockchain. The blocks, in turn, are indexed in a special way to allow for a rapid query.

Those individual differences can be linked to conditions with known genetic risk factors, which can inform patients not only of their personal risk of developing a disease but also help guide treatments for existing disorders.
