Genomic information is key for the implementation of real personalized medicine. Nevertheless, access to this kind of information must be controlled because of its high privacy and security requirements. Several genomic information formats exist, although we have started from MPEG-G as it includes metadata and protection mechanisms since its inception and provides a hierarchical structure to organize the information contained. The proposed GIPAMS modular architecture provides a secure and controlled access to genomic information, which may help on improving personalized medicine as described in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
