Pangenetic web item recommendation system
Computer based systems, methods, software and databases are presented in which correlations between web item preferences and pangenetic (genetic and epigenetic) attributes of individuals are used for pangenetic based web item recommendation in which a user can request and receive personalized online recommendations of web items that are based on the user's pangenetic makeup. Data masking can be used to maintain privacy of sensitive portions of the pangenetic data.
1. In a multi-user computer system that provides user access to a database of items, a method of recommending items to a specific user, the method comprising the computer implemented steps of:
a) generating a data structure that associates item preferences of a group of users with at least one genetic attribute of the group of users;
b) receiving a request for an item recommendation for the specific user;
c) accessing genetic information of the specific user; and
d) providing the item recommendation for the specific user based on the correlation of the at least one genetic attribute of the group of users with the genetic information of the specific user.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the item recommendation is a set of goods recommended for purchase.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the item preferences of the group of users is based on user's satisfaction.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein the user's satisfaction is determined based on purchase data.
5. The method of claim 3 wherein the user's satisfaction is determined based on user feedback.
6. A computer system for genetic based recommendations comprising:
a) a database that associates item preferences of a group of users with at least one genetic attribute of the group of users;
b) a processor;
c) a memory containing code which when executed by the processor, executes the steps of:
i) receiving a request for an item recommendation for the specific user;
ii) accessing genetic information of the specific user; and
iii) providing the item recommendation for the specific user based on the correlation of the at least one genetic attribute of the group of users with the genetic information of the specific user.
7. The computer system of claim 6 wherein the item recommendation is a set of goods recommended for purchase.
8. The computer system of claim 6 wherein the item preferences of the group of users is based on user's satisfaction.
9. The computer system of claim 8 wherein the user's satisfaction is determined based on purchase data.
10. The computer system of claim 8 wherein the user's satisfaction is determined based on user feedback.
