Much like you can't anonymize browsing history data, email metadata or financial transactions -- I suspect DNA information also cannot be satisfactorily anonymized.

"Anonymized data" is a marketing term.




Was going to say this as well- I highly doubt it's possible to anonymize DNA and still have useful data.

'Anonymized Data' is a misnomer.


This makes me wonder if there would be some use in zero knowledge protocols that use a person's DNA information for the secret.
