Genomes Unzipped is a project that aims to inform the public about genetics via the independent analysis of open genetic data, volunteered by a core group of genetics researchers and specialists.

Overview

The Genomes Unzipped project is aimed to provide consumers with independent information about genetic testing, developments in the field of genetics, and the genetic testing industry. Genomes Unzipped consists of a group of volunteer researchers from the field of genetics and various legal and public health specialists in genomic technologies. These volunteers have opened their genetic data by releasing it into the public domain via the CC0 public domain dedication. Genomes Unzipped project data is available both as raw data and as part of a custom browser. The data may be used by anyone for any purpose without restrictions to the fullest extent allowable by law.
