AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM THAT PERMITS GRANULAR IDENTIFICATION OF, ACCESS TO, AND RECRUITMENT OF INDIVIDUALIZED GENOMIC DATA

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for controlling dissemination of genomic data. One embodiment is a system that stores genomic data. The genomic data for each individual lists genetic variants determined to exist within that individual. The system receives an access request for a segment of genomic data for an individual, analyzes an authentication token within the request, authenticates the request as belonging to an account for a user based on the authentication token, and reviews authorization directives for the individual that indicate how predefined portions of genomic data are shared. The system also transmits the segment of genomic data in response to determining that the authorization directives permit the account to access the segment of genomic data, and prevents transmission of the segment of genomic data in response to determining that the authorization directives do not permit the account to access the segment of genomic data.
