The split has shifted to companies supporting the    likes of big pharma, medical devices, and for-profit research    institutions and companies that are collecting information    solely for the use of the consumer.     DNA Spectrum is committed to bringing new, innovative, and    life-changing products to consumers rather than collecting    information to sell to research institutions and     for-profit organizations.  <\/p>\n<p>    The company's latest product launch,     myDNA Fitness, utilizes customer genetic data to provide    fitness recommendations based on specific markers within their    genomes. This technology is poised to transform the health    industry as a whole, with the actual genetic data itself    valuable to third parties looking to use it for both non-profit    and for-profit research. This speaks to a larger trend within    the genomics industry itself.  <\/p>\n<p>    The race in consumer genetics has shifted to competition    between companies protecting information from external sources    and companies collecting     research for profit. DNA Spectrum reaffirms its     commitment to the consumer to provide genetic products    solely for the individual gain of the consumer.  <\/p>\n<p>    DNA Spectrum sources products from research institutions,    laboratories, and intellectual property holders to develop    consumer-driven products rather than collecting information to    build a revenue-generating database at customer's cost.  <\/p>\n<p>    DNA Spectrum has maintained its vision as a genetic products    provider for the people since inception. DNA Spectrum is a    marketplace that partners with researchers, institutions, and    scientists to provide tests and life research into products    that are meaningful and easy to understand to consumers. DNA    Spectrum seeks to validate and simplify complex and insightful    research into clear and relevant products for customers.  <\/p>\n<p>    The company understands the inherent responsibility in dealing    with its customers genetic information and takes great pains    to ensure that trust is never compromised. DNA Spectrums        Privacy Policy explicitly states that all collected samples    and customer genetic data will not be used for any other    purpose other than services specifically requested by its    customers. Furthermore, the companys customers determine what    other parties will have access to their genetic information. If    customers wish to participate in large-scale research studies    or medical trials, the decision should be up to the individual,    not the company that is entrusted with the genetic makeup.  <\/p>\n<p>    The battle for consumer genetic privacy is heating up as    for-profit entities realize the value of outsourcing large data    sets of genome information for research purposes. DNA Spectrum    believes that consumers should have the right to choose whether    or not their very own genomes are used. It is a fundamental    right to freedom that society has yet to fully acknowledge. DNA    Spectrum is ready and able to fight on behalf of its customers    and all people who have a right to their genetic privacy, while    providing services meant to both empower and improve their    lives.  <\/p>\n<p>    About DNA Spectrum  <\/p>\n<p>    Every person's DNA stores an incredible amount of valuable    information. This knowledge is only as relevant as the tools    available to understand and unravel the mysteries hidden within    the genetic sequence. The vision of DNA Spectrum is to uncover    the information contained within a genome and present the    findings in a format that is easy-to-understand, meaningful,    and life changing.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See the article here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/2015\/01\/prweb12432967.htm\/RK=0\/RS=gL.PyV.BImr1UPJzv4TxxPPX6jk-\" title=\"DNA Spectrum Leads The New Privacy Battle in Consumer Genetics\">DNA Spectrum Leads The New Privacy Battle in Consumer Genetics<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 08, 2015 The real dilemma in consumer genetics today is not only the race to introduce meaningful and actionable products, but the mechanisms used to display and communicate consumer information.
