They will help you appreciate and learn the important essons in this chapter. Then take the practice test and send me your score by Thursday at midnight. On the discussion board, answer these questions: 1. How can researchers collect enough genome data to better understand human inherited variation, yet protect identities? 2. How does genomic data differ from other biomedical information, such as cholesterol level or height? 3. Do you think that the popularity of direct-to-the consumer ancestry testing contributes to the genetic privacy issue? How and why? 4. Is complete de-identification in a database possible? How and why? Give feedback on your classmates' posts. This is part of your grade. Due April 15, Sunday: Pick a topic from class assignments to research and write about. Post a one page proposal plus at least 3 references by feedback and you can inspire each other. Group proposals will be considered here by Sunday April 15.

Then take the chapter 17 practice quiz and send me your score by Thursday at midnight

Explanation / Answer

1. Researchers should share their purpose and period of sample storage, the consent of the consumer, maintain confidentiality of data. Direct to consumer genetic testing would help researchers extract huge genomic data while the identity remains safe. The consumer can be given a code which would be known to the scientist and the person and hence the person wouldnot be easily identified. Moreover, the data would have to be deleted after a certain period of research, it can only be stored longer with the consent of theconsumer.
