The Billion Genomes Project
Upload your 23andMe, MyHeritage or Ancestry.com data to the world’s fastest growing user owned genomic database and earn $GENOME with Genomes.io!
Many of us have friends who have used websites like 23andMe, My Heritage or Ancestry.com to find out their family origins, traces of their ethnicity, or a long lost relative, but did you know that same data can be used to better understand your health?
Every day more and more people are joining the personalised medicine revolution by getting their genome sequenced and learning more about their health. But have they stopped to consider what they are really handing over?
There is nothing more personal than your genome. Yet pharmaceutical companies are gaining easy access to it and making massive profits — often without your knowledge or consent.
This raises an important question: Are you fully aware of the dangers of entrusting your most valuable data to these genetic consumer companies?
Introducing: The Billion Genomes Project
The need for secure ownership of your DNA has never been greater. Over the past few years there has been significant evidence that direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies are not fit for purpose. From Blackstone’s acquisition of Ancestry.com, 23andMe’s data breaches, and companies providing your sensitive data to big pharma without giving you a share of the profit — this industry is failing you.
You may have done these tests in the past out of curiosity, but now is the time to take back control. These events highlight the importance of our company, a platform you can trust to have your best interests at heart.
We believe that you should own your own genome, which is why we have worked tirelessly to make the DNA upload possible for everyone. Our plan is to build the world’s largest user owned genomics database, and we are doing this by dealing with issues that nobody else is addressing; privacy, security and ownership concerns of DNA analysis and sharing.
We boldly aim to secure 1 billion genomes in vaults in the next 5 years which will turbocharge a revolution in scientific discovery.
What do we have to offer?
Our new functionality allows you to upload your genomic data for free, and benefit from what we have to offer. At Genomes.io we have a range of different features that you will be able to explore when you join us. These include:
1. Continued Ownership:
You are and forever remain the owner of your DNA data. Nothing happens with it if you do not want to. Become part of the world’s biggest user owned genomic database to retain ownership of your genetic data wherever you go.
2. Secure Vaults:
Feel confident knowing that your data is secured with advanced cybersecurity, ensuring it stays safe and fully within your control. You can access your data whenever you need, without worrying about non-consensual sharing, or the risk of it appearing on the dark web after a malicious hack.
Our vaults are protected by Secure Encryption Virtualization (SEV) technology, a first of its kind innovation thanks to our collaboration with AMD. This ensures your data is encrypted and only accessible to you, the vault owner, so even we cannot access it.
3. Own Your Wellness with our Health Reports & Carrier Status:
Understand more about your physical wellbeing with our comprehensive genotypic health reports. We release two new reports each week, allowing you to explore your genetic susceptibility to various traits and diseases. These reports can be purchased individually, or you can choose our lifetime membership for just £299, which gives you access to all current and future tests on our platform; offering incredible value over time.
Plus, our carrier status reports help you understand whether you’re a carrier for certain inherited conditions, allowing you to be aware of the risk of passing a condition to offspring.
And this is just the beginning.
4. Exclusive Campaigns:
As we grow the number of vaults to 10,000, pharmaceutical companies will pay to query the database. This means that if you agree to participate in the research, you will be financially rewarded.
Our past campaigns, including a first of its kind COVID-19 study, have allowed our users to securely contribute to important scientific research. You will have full transparency over access requests to your genome, including details of who is making the request (e.g. specific pharma company), what information will be accessed and how much you will earn if you approve it.
Participation in these campaigns is entirely optional. If you do choose to accept, your genomic data is still safe inside your vault with only the specified part being accessed.
5. Unlock the full potential of your DNA:
23andMe, Ancestry.com and MyHeritage lag behind in technology, sequencing only a tiny fraction (<1%) of your genome. We offer 30x whole genome sequencing, which covers 100% of your DNA leaving no area of it unknown.
Choose between our trusted sequencing partners, Dante genomics and Nebula, with different prices and turnaround times available.
Uploading your DNA- Putting you in control
We are here to help you regain control of your data in a simple and secure way. To get started, follow these steps to download your raw DNA file from your testing provider:
Once you’ve downloaded your raw DNA file, you can upload it to our platform. This will create a private vault just for you, where you can manage and explore your data on your Genomes.io dashboard.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@genomes.io. We’re here to help!
Collect points, Earn $GENOME
To help us reach our goal of 10,000 genomes in our vaults by the end of the year, we are introducing a new points system that rewards you financially for simply uploading your DNA, exploring what we offer you and spreading the word about our company.
As a part of this initiative, we will be giving away $GENOME tokens. The more points you earn, the more you receive from the $GENOME pool available.
We will soon share with you all possible ways on how you can earn points and will publish another post on how existing vault holders can earn points and $GENOME as well.
How will my points be exchanged?
On December 31st 2024, all points will be converted into $GENOME tokens. For example, if you earn 100 points and the total points awarded was 1000, you would receive 10% of the $GENOME tokens being distributed.
Get a head start today with bonus points being awarded for the first 30 days!
How to contact us?
We hope that all the information provided gives you a clear idea of what we do and how we can benefit your life. If you wish to see more about us you can check out our blogs, follow our social media, or join our community on telegram.
