I believe we're talking about de-identified individual-level data being sold or shared ( https://www.23andme.com/about/individual-data-consent/ ) in this thread. I don't think 23andme has been casual or ca

I wasn't trying to convince anybody otherwise. I think the noise about 23&Me's data to be pretty uninteresting. I published my own genome (through PGP) for anybody to download, and I know that people have identified me from

Providing another company access to deidentified data is "selling your data", to argue otherwise is just semantics. Note that selling deidentified data (genomic, health, etc) is common in the industry already and 23&Me is ha

I think you probably meant to reply to somebody else. I was thinking of the minion when I said "you can sequence in your garage". I was agreeing that things like airborne detection exist. I'm not blaming anybody, except An

Sure, people can sequence DNA in their garage if they want. You need to know how to do it and how to not mess up all the details if you want to get reliable data. As for government collecting samples from the environment, they (researchers

Sequencing costs dropped dramatically in a window that started when sequencing was done highly inefficiently. That gave folks the false impression that DNA sequencing would continue to halve in price every ~X years. The NIH occasionally upd

Most big protests in the US happen in the summer, so I think it's worth considering that the large-scale resistance by the populace may actually happen in a few months. I am unclear on what this would look like, for example what level
