Abstract
Contemporary studies in #human genetics has become a ‘Big Data Science’,
due to recent advances in sequencing technologies that has reduced the
cost and improved accuracy of sequencing. This high volume ‘Big Data’
consists of genomics data, clinical data, #electronic health records
(EHR) and physical activity data form personal health apps and presents
the unprecedented opportunity to combine them for integrated ‘Big Data’
#healthcare analytics and applied knowledge. There is legitimate privacy
and security concerns over indiscriminate open source access and use of
the biomedical ‘Big Data’, while creation of barriers to data access is
feared to hinder research endeavors in #human diseases. In this brief
commentary, the present status of genetic studies and data security are
discussed(Figure 1).
