Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:


Discussion:

How to pair a Saliva DNA extraction kit with a Public Address in a Blockchain to serve as a pointer to an encrypted private data container (IPFS) so the user can access/buy sequencing laboratory services without risking their identity. The DNA Lab, after processing the saliva sample, can deposit the “Raw Data” to each user’s DNA Wallet within the Network.  Blockchain is utilize to issue smart contracts for each transaction to represent the “informed consent” or the “permissioned region of the genomic map” that each 3rd party can access/see/download/process etc. (P2P Genomic Firewall). 


Key Understanding:  Distributed Storage, Non-fungible-Tokens (for personal genomic variants), ERC-721, Smart Contracts, Privacy over IP, Dynamic Permissioned data vs. static informed consent, P2P Genomic Firewall).


Action Items:  Solve Private Keys custody for non-technical users (most of all) to increase adoption.

Next Steps: Pilot program 100 users.
