Scientists are now looking to compare genomes on a larger scale by using internet databases. At the moment, there are many concerns and limitations with putting such personal information on the internet.The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health has high profile memberships which have helped develop an improved way to move DNA around the web. They have created a network that addresses privacy concerns and may lead to commercial success. If it is successful, doctors will have information of patients with similarn illnesses, have a bettter idea of what direction to take with their own patient, and be able to give the patient more detailed information. This impacts people who have illnesses in which genomes have a need to be identified. I this this is a great innovation because it is for a good cause. I support it as long as it respects everyones privacy choices.
