    I’ve publicly uploaded mine to anywhere that’s take it anyway who cares. Unless you’re American there’s no huge risk. If they use the anonymised data to discover new drugs and treatment then I’m glad to contribute. It’s only <0.1% of your genome.

      No huge risk at the minute. While I’m all for you doing whatever you want with your DNA it doesn’t make uploading it to everywhere that will take it a particularly good idea.
