Genomic GPS: Using genetic distance from individuals to public data for genomic analysis without disclosing personal genomes
Genomic global positioning system (GPS) applies the multilateration technique commonly used in the GPS to genomic data. In the framework we present here, investigators calculate genetic distances from their samples to reference samples, which are from data held in the public domain, and share this information with others.
