Awesome piece of software! Quick side question... does anyone have a recommendation for a DNA genotyping service that prioritizes privacy? I'm looking for a company that provides private results and doesn't add them to any sort of database (dystopian or otherwise). I'd love to get my DNA profile, but I'm concerned about privacy issues. :\
- samuell 4mo agoYou might try sequencing your DNA at home :) https://iwantosequencemygenomeathome.com/ https://iwantosequencemygenomeathome.com/ (Well, the guy offers to do it for you too, delivering the data on an USB stick).

- Gethsemane 4mo agoUltimately you're not going to find a service that can guarantee privacy, but your best bet might be to extract DNA at home (though tricky without a centrifuge etc...) and submit it to a standard sequencing provider novogene, plasmidsaurus etc. Realistically, they'll hold onto the data for a couple of months as part of the order, then delete it to clear up space. A bunch of discordant sets of DNA sequence without metadata isn't exactly useful for nefarious purposes! I wouldn't recommend sequencing at home unless you are very enthusiastic...
