Researchers at Stanford have published a study showing how to apply “genome cloaking” to DNA samples so that 97 percent of a participant's unique genetic information remains hidden from anyone other than the DNA owner during analysis, Gizmodo reports. The process reportedly includes using an algorithm to encrypt their DNA while uploading it to a cloud where researchers are then able to analyze the specific point they are examining. Researchers say that this will help address the 2008 Genetic Information and Nondiscrimination Act, which is reported to have significant loopholes and raises concerns over DNA discrimination. Gill Bejerano, one of the researchers, said, "Now we can perform powerful genetic analyses while also completely protecting our participants' privacy."
