3. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein receiving the request to share non-public information with the second user of the application through the application comprises:
receiving, from the first user, a login into a first account, wherein the login comprises a username and password;
providing a web interface for a sharing invitation to the first user; and
receiving, from the first user via the web interface, an entry of a second account associated with the second user or a search for usernames, and
wherein notifying the second user of the request from the first user comprises sending an email to the second user.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-public information comprises odds associated with one or more health concerns, wherein the odds associated with the one or more health concerns were calculated by an odds calculator of the application, and wherein the odds calculator of the application combines genetic information, phenotype information, age, and ethnicity to determine a likelihood of a health concern affecting an individual.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request to share non-public information with the second user of the application through the application comprises a sharing level, wherein the sharing level indicates a subset of data associated with the second user to share with the first user or a subset of data associated with the first user to share with the second user, and wherein establishing sharing of non-public information associated with the first user to the second user or of non-public information associated with the second user to the first user comprises providing read access to the subset of data associated with the second user to the first user or providing read access to the subset of data associated with the first user to the second user.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sharing level comprises an indication of a basic level or a complete level, wherein the basic level comprises a smaller subset of non-public information than the complete level, wherein the complete level is a superset of the basic level, wherein the basic level comprises ancestry and general comparison features, and wherein the complete level comprises detailed health and traits articles, odds calculations, or full SNP-level information.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sharing level is selected from three or more available sharing levels.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
modifying a sharing level associated with the sharing of non-public information associated with the first user to the second user or of non-public information associated with the second user to the first user; or
terminating the sharing of non-public information associated with the first user to the second user or of non-public information associated with the second user to the first user.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein establishing sharing of non-public information associated with the first user to the second user or of non-public information associated with the second user to the first user comprises:
providing read access to the non-public information associated with the second user to the first user; and
withholding read access to the non-public information associated with the first user from the second user.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first user is the second user's doctor.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is performed by one or more devices, circuits, or processing cores configured to process computer program instructions.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a biographical database comprising biographical records associated with the plurality of users of the application, wherein the biographical records comprise birthdates, birthplaces, ancestries, and social security numbers, wherein establishing sharing of non-public information associated with the first user to the second user or of non-public information associated with the second user to the first user comprises providing read access to information stored within the database and the biographical database to the first user or the second user.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-public information associated with the first user or the non-public information associated with the second user comprises information related to health of that user, information about a likelihood of one or more health concerns to affect that user, information about a risk of that user developing a health-related condition, health information associated with a genome of that user, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data of that user, information about one or more traits associated with a genotype information of that user, or phenotype information of that user.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-public information associated with the first user or the non-public information associated with the second user comprises genotype information of that user.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-public information associated with the first user or the non-public information associated with the second user comprises information about a particular gene of that user.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-public information associated with the first user or the non-public information associated with the second user comprises ancestry information of that user.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application is a web application.
18. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, receiving from the first user, an indication of a subset of non-public information to be shared.
19. A computing platform for sharing genetic data comprising:
an application configured to:
interact with a database comprising genotype records associated with a plurality of users of the application;
receive, from a first user of the application, a request to share non-public information with a second user of the application through the application;
in response to receiving the request from the first user, notify the second user of the request from the first user;
in response to notifying the second user of the request from the first user, receive, from the second user, an acceptance of the request to share non-public information through the application; and
in response to receiving, from the second user, the acceptance of the request, establish sharing of non-public information associated with the first user to the second user or of non-public information associated with the second user to the first user.
20. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions are executable by a processor to perform a method for sharing genetic data, comprising:
providing a database comprising genotype records associated with a plurality of users of an application;
receiving, from a first user of the application, a request to share non-public information with a second user of the application through the application;
in response to receiving the request from the first user, notifying the second user of the request from the first user;
in response to notifying the second user of the request from the first user, receiving, from the second user, an acceptance of the request to share non-public information through the application; and
in response to receiving, from the second user, the acceptance of the request, establishing sharing of non-public information associated with the first user to the second user or of non-public information associated with the second user to the first user.
