$0 Genome Project for genomic equality
(aka: Free Genome Project)
$0 Genome project is a project launched by Genomics.org
It is to collect personal genome information for free and distribute it free of charge.
It is a zero-cost genomics project.
Governments and big companies can pay for the genotyping cost and people let the world access the personal genome information without any restriction.
All the $0 geonmics participants get all the personal genomics information for free from Genomics.org.
There are people who have published personal genomic information.
If you have your own genome information acquired by full genome sequencing, SNP chips and other genome chips, you can provide the information to genomics.org.
It is an openfree BiO project.
Why $0 genome project?
Genomic equality
Genome information should be free for all and the benefit of free genomics should be shared by people with little money and access to information.
How does it work?
The first step:
1. Please click here and sign your name to petition the governments of the world to sequence genomes free of charge
- Your signatures will help people understand the importance of genomic equality philosophically, socially, and financially.
- We can persuade governments, UN, large companies, and trusts to perform genomics project as the world community project.
- If we have a global participation from the early stage of personal genomics, we can discuss ethical and equality issues from the beginning.
The second step:
2. Mapping the population stratification with government and company funds for free genotyping throughout the world
- Equal opportunities are given to people throughout the world regardless of racial, financial, and political backgrounds.
- Human beings help to other human beings in understanding the whole Homo sapiens with equal contribution and feeling of sharing.
The third step:
3. Pinpointing persons who represent in the population clusters and genotype them for their families and groups
- This way, we make sure that the free genome project evenly genotype populations throughout the world.
