Poking holes in genetic privacy
http://j.mp/14EhnsH (New York Times_
"Not so long ago, people who provided DNA in the course of research
studies were told that their privacy was assured. Their DNA sequences
were on publicly available Web sites, yes, but they did not include
names or other obvious identifiers. These were research databases,
scientists said, not like the forensic DNA banks being gathered by the
F.B.I. and police departments."
