Tuning Privacy-Utility Tradeoff in Genomic Studies Using Selective SNP Hiding.

ABSTRACT: Researchers need a rich trove of genomic datasets that they can leverage to gain a better understanding of the genetic basis of the human genome and identify associations between phenol-types and specific parts of DNA. However, sharing genomic datasets that include sensitive genetic or medical information of individuals can lead to serious privacy-related consequences if data lands in the wrong hands. Restricting access to genomic datasets is one solution, but this greatly reduces their usefulness for research purposes. To allow sharing of genomic datasets while addressing these privacy concerns, several studies propose privacy-preserving mechanisms for data sharing. Differential privacy is one of such mechanisms that formalize rigorous mathematical foundations to provide privacy guarantee
