Abstract

The acquisition of human genomic sequences is of increasing convenience and reduced expense. The sharing of these data is critical for biomedical researchers to study genomic loci or variants that are potentially associated with human diseases1. However, sharing genomic data broadly is impeded by privacy concerns. The statistical inference techniques for the re-identification of genomic data donors have been extensively investigated in the literature2-5. The Beacon services project is recently brought into view, aiming to test the willingness of data holders to share genomic data in a simple technical context: a query to ask a specified nucleotide at a given position within a chromosome6, also suffering from being compromised7,8. In this paper, we introduce a real-time mitigation method to protect Beacon services from re-identification attacks7, and show that it performs favorably in comparison with previous approaches on mitigation efficiency, i.e., with lower re-identification risks and higher utility of Beacon database.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 June 2018.
All research outputs
#17,292,294
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from AMIA Summits on Translational Science Proceedings
#122
of 276 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#221,453
of 343,554 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AMIA Summits on Translational Science Proceedings
#17
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 276 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.5. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 343,554 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
