Continuing our discussion on the ethics of obtaining genomic
data, I am posting this review from Trends in Genetics. Even when an individual’s name is stripped of
his genomic data, there are still many ways to re-identify this
individual. Obtaining the permission of
an individual to use his DNA doesn’t cut it for ethical protocol. Plummeting costs to
sequence entire genomes and the wide availability of genomic data makes this
issue much more challenging.
