The Gene-Chain only transmits de-identified genetic data. We strip all identifiable data from it. Moreover, because we never ask you who you are, you can create and account, upload data, sell it, and get paid all via any email address you want to use. Nothing more is needed. We have always complied with both HIPAA… Read more

2020 was a difficult year for everyone. We have been lucky. We did not go out of business, we aren’t among the millions dead, jobless, homeless, or permanently injured. But like all businesses, we had to adapt, and suffered setbacks that related largely to the chilling effects on the economy of a global pandemic. Nevertheless… Read more

In November 2018 we became the first genomic blockchain free market for data to go online. As of today, we remain the only such marketplace.

In 2017, when we first began this journey, the idea of using blockchain to help secure and monetize individual genomic data ownership for research was still novel. We are proud to have paved the way for a flurry of imitators who have emerged since then. Few have persevered as we have to reach both the… Read more

When we first thought up the idea of the Gene-Chain, we had a grand conception of creating an entire economy. DNA, we thought, is the one thing every living human being has, and its value when found in less-advantaged populations may even be greater than in those found in the developed world. Truly, we thought,… Read more
