Damn, I bought it 2 weeks ago! They keep mentioning the benefits to science, but can you actually access their database as an academic?

- a_bonobo 14y agoYou cannot get access to the database as an academic (the privacy-implications alone give me a headache - contact all customers, ask them to consent to research project X, research project X has to contact all people for their own ethics-commitee etc.) - typically you can only access results from one of their studies. Projects like openSNP however give people a space to voluntarily upload their data for scientists to use.
