> Keep an anonymous public database Due to the nature of genetic information, it can never be really anonymous if you are genotyping genome size amounts of host DNA. There is simply too much data to anonymize it's provenance. Microbiome is generally anonymous because you can filter out host DNA from it. Though, I bet you could still trace it back to an individual if you tried.
