Blockchain-enabled genomic data sharing and analysis platform

July 2, 2017

Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is a molecule that encodes the blueprint of every living organism. DNA is a chain-like molecule of variable length made of four building blocks, commonly called letters (Figure 1). The four letters of DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). Thus, while computers encode data using the binary system, the code of life uses four symbols.
