TY - JOUR T1 - Cryptography for genetic material JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/157685 SP - 157685 AU - Sterling Sawaya Y1 - 2017/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/06/30/157685.1.abstract N2 - Genetic information can be highly sensitive and can be used to identified its source. To conceal genetic information, cryptographic methods can be applied to genetic material itself, concealing sensitive information prior to the generation of sequence data. The cryptographic method described here uses randomly divided subsets of barcodes and random pooling to securely generate pools of genetic material. The privacy obtained by these methods are measured here using differential privacy. ER -
