DATA SECURITY IN BIOINFORMATIC SEQUENCE ANALYSIS

摘要

Systems and methods for protecting information stored in private references that are available to be queried—e.g., graph-based sequence references that users query through an interface, providing short reads to obtain the results of an alignment against the reference sequence—analyze the query and/or alignment results to determine whether the query represents an attack. The analysis may be performed before returning results to a user, and in some cases before performing the alignment.
