An FAQ written by Doc (Michael) Edge and Graham Coop on their paper about genetic genealogy & privacy (pdf link here). The preprint is scheduled to appear on Oct 22nd and should be available at this link. What is this paper about? Our paper is about genetic privacy concerns related to a subset of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetics services. The largest DTC genetics companies are Ancestry and 23andMe, but our paper is not directly about them—it’s about services that allow users to upload their own genetic datasets. Several DTC genetics services, including GEDmatch, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA ..read more
