NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – In an open-access pilot project, researchers from Baylor College of Medicine have demonstrated that cancer patients are willing and able to provide "true informed consent" for sharing their genome sequencing data.

They hope that open datasets of "real world" cases will be useful for advancing precision cancer treatment and spur public discussion about protecting patients' privacy while respecting their autonomy to share data freely to advance science.
