Genomics on the Chain: Exploring the Benefits of Integrating Genetic Data with Blockchain Technology

  • Unique Paper ID: 180034
  • PageNo: 490-500
  • Abstract:
  • Genomics data is extremely important and sensitive. It is difficult to handle genomic data due the large quantity. People's genomic and health data must be combined and analysed in order to fully realise the potential of these technologies. Rapid generation of enormous quantities of genomic data is a consequence of the advancements in genome technology. Security measures that maintain confidentiality and restrict access are crucial since genetic data contains a variety of information that is sensitive to privacy. This may result in the creation of benefit sharing, data autonomous government, and better safety. Medical records are protected by a multitude of security measures. Nevertheless, there are also obstacles to the gathering and sharing of genetic data, including inadequate data quality, information islands, manipulation-induced distortions, insufficient documentation, leakage of personal data, and operations incorporating grey data. Moreover, problems with privacy arising from the sharing of genetic data have not yet been resolved. The blockchain platform offers novel opportunities for genetic data management and security. In this work, with blockchain technology is used to create a safe genetic data management system. and also analyses the example of from the perspectives related to information possession, data transferring, and data protection, LifeCODE.ai, a blockchain-based genetic big data platform, demonstrates how blockchain makes it feasible to store and manage genetic data. An estimated three billion base pairs make up the human genome. Even certain common diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and the like have a genetic sensitivity. certain genetic diseases are rare. As a result, processing datasets calls for specialised pipelines and equipment.
