Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for verifying genetic samples using contextual metadata can include receiving at least one genetic sample, identifying one or more contextual parameters associated with the at least one genetic sample, obtaining one or more etches selected from a set of etches to encode the one or more contextual parameters, and pooling the one or more etches with the at least one genetic sample in a sample environment, wherein pooling prevents binding of the one or more etches to the at least one genetic sample.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for comparing genetic data of at least two individuals to determine a relationship between the at least two individuals and to present the relationship while providing privacy protection of certain genetic data. One system includes a one or more processing circuits to receive at least a portion of a first genetic dataset and at least a portion of a second genetic dataset. Further, the one or more processing circuits to identify a first set of DNA markers and identify a second set of DNA markers, and wherein the first set of DNA markers and the second set of DNA markers at least partially correspond. Further, the one or more processing circuits to determine a plurality of relationship indices, generate a relationship interface that includes graphical representations, and provide the relationship interface.
