DNA dataveillance: protecting the innocent?
PurposeThis paper discusses the National DNA Database (NDNAD) and some of the controversies surrounding it with reference to legal and ethical issues, focusing particularly on privacy and human rights. Governance of this database involves specific exemptions from the Data Protection Act (DPA), and this gives a rise to concerns regarding both the extent of surveillance on the UK population, and ...
متن کاملDataveillance and the False-Positive Paradox
In recent times, we are witnessing an increasing concern by governments and intelligence agencies to deploy mass-surveillance systems that help them fight terrorism. In this paper, we conduct a formal analysis of the overall cost of such surveillance systems. Our analysis starts with a fairly-known result in statistics, namely, the false-positive paradox. We propose a quantitative measure of th...
متن کاملPGC7 suppresses TET3 for protecting DNA methylation
Ten-eleven translocation (TET) family enzymes convert 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxylmethylcytosine. However, the molecular mechanism that regulates this biological process is not clear. Here, we show the evidence that PGC7 (also known as Dppa3 or Stella) interacts with TET2 and TET3 both in vitro and in vivo to suppress the enzymatic activity of TET2 and TET3. Moreover, lacking PGC7 induces the...
متن کاملProtecting DNA Sequence Anonymity with Generalization Lattices
The increased collection, storage, and analysis of person-specific DNA sequences poses serious challenges to the protection of the identities to which such sequences correspond. Compromise of DNA privacy via re-identification, the inference of explicit identity of the individual from which the DNA was derived, is dependent on unique features that may be inferred from a DNA sequence. In this pap...
متن کاملThe Grey Web: Dataveillance Vision Fulfilled through the Evolving Web
