Your DNA, Your Say project summary:
How do people feel about their genomic data being incorporated into Big Data? This project aims to find out. The ‘Your DNA, Your Say’ project is a global online survey gathering public attitudes towards genomic data sharing. The survey contains 9 innovative films that explain what genomic data sharing is through the eyes of a little boy called Charlie. The findings will offer a public voice to policy created by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health.
