What happens to my DNA data?
First and foremost, let’s explain the difference between DNA sequencing and genotyping DNA:
DNA Sequencing is the process that analyzes all the information included in our DNA:
- Over 3 Billion units long
- 99.9 % of the genome is the same in all humans
Genotyping DNA is the process that analyzes a certain number of variables, a “cut” in smaller pieces:
- Works on the non-equal variables in the human genome, i.e. the 0.1% that makes us different
- Hundreds of thousands of markers are analyzed (specifically the chip that DNAVERSE uses breaks down 642.824 markers)
Now that we understand the difference, how does DNAVERSE work with your DNA?
- 1.We genotype your DNA using a saliva kit included with the purchase of one of DNAVERSE NFTs (both Cryptoprotein and DNA pass).
- 2.Your DNA Saliva kit is sent to one of the largest genomics laboratories in Europe, where it is analyzed and subsequently destroyed.
- 3.Your DNA Genotype (the 642.824 markers) is extracted by the lab and sent to a team of geneticists (DNAVERSE partners) who translate the data into a comprehensible report, which is provided to you.
- 4.The genetic team also translates key markers (less than 500) into anonymised values using ad-hoc software developed by DNAVERSE for this particular purpose. It’s only at this moment when the DNAVERSE designers team uses these details to individually design and create your DNArt.
- 5.DNAVERSE team does neither analyze nor manage any genetic data (not even the key markers) as those are anonymized and translated by the geneticists according to a planned patron developed by DNAVERSE.
- 6.The final step. You receive a genetic study and a report together with a fully personalized DNArt.
Key takeaways regarding your data:
- You have access to your DNA data at all times as it is yours!
- The data can be deleted from the geneticist's database without questioning. Just ask for it. Plain simple.
- The only personal information shared by you (at all times) is an email (when submitting your DNA Salive kit as you need access to a platform to read your report) & a wallet address (when joining the DNAVERSE whitelist or purchasing the NFs).
- In short, no one knows your identity or who you are. Not even us.
- If you are concerned about possible reverse engineering from a DNArt, it is simply not possible to know the markers chosen and to whom the data belongs.
