Thank you for this, I've wanted to do genetic testing for years but don't want it to be stored on anyone's server. Can you explain how it's not stored on any server? Like, you're downloading the .BAM file from Nebula; doesn't that mean they hold onto the data?
- petercooper 2y agoAnyone who does the actual sequencing has the data. I think they mean the final service that does the analysis runs locally in the browser. You still need to trust whoever does the sequencing.
- rahimnathwani 2y agoI think the point is to prevent the data from being linked to your identify (name, address etc.).
- tehjoker 2y agoYour identity can be reconstructed from relative's samples. If you submit your sequence its out of your hands forever. The only way to do this privately is to do the sequencing in your own lab.
- uneoneuno 2y agoI sequence my own genome in my own private lab. At least weekly. The rush when the sequencing begins. I almost can't help but sequence all over the place.

- aantix 2y agoNebula.org does the data sequencing. They support anonymous sequencing. https://nebula.org/anonymous-seq/ https://nebula.org/anonymous-seq/ Genetic Life Hacks provides the analysis on a number of health and disease related topics. Their analysis is simply allele matching for any given topic (string comparisons). It's all done within the browser. https://www.geneticlifehacks.com/faqs-about-genetics/#:~:text=Will%20you%20sell%20your%20member%E2%80%99s%20genetic%20data%3F https://www.geneticlifehacks.com/faqs-about-genetics/#:~:tex...
