Abstract: Described herein are methods, devices and systems for simple organization, visualization and use of genome data (e.g. human genome data) on electronic devices (e.g. portable devices). In some embodiments, the data are organized and/or visualized according to phenotype traits, genes, and/or markers in a similar manner to the organization and/or visualization of digital music contents. This concept allows a new procedure for genomic data organization and facilitates the development of genomic data visualization tools. The methods described herein can be implemented with consumer-oriented software on electronic devices, computers, and portable devices, for the use of genomic related data in the field of personalized medicine for predictive, preventive and participative wireless healthcare.
Abstract: A method generates an alphanumeric or numeric key linked to personal genomic data. In a first step genomic data from a single genome are analyzed. Genetic markers are retrieved from the data and associated with various informations like, but not exclusively, their name, identification number, polymorphism frequency distribution in various populations, and localization in genome regions. Groups of genetic markers are then created according one or a combination of these informations. For each group, an alphanumeric or numeric value is computed and represent an element of the key. The assembly of each element produces the final key, named the “Genumber”. The Genumber can then be used securely in various applications to produce personalized results, linked to the genome source, like creative and artistic applications or secured transaction-based application like banking transactions or medical data storage, but not exclusively.
