Method and system for preparing a personal genetic profile includes collecting genetic data from an individual, assigning the data to a coordinate system, storing the data, and providing access for retrieval by the individual from whom the genetic data were collected, after receipt of an Identifier that adequately authenticates the identity of the data requester. Locations of genetic markers are provided as three-dimensional coordinates, described with matrix relationships that are consistent with the primary and secondary chemical structure of molecular constituents of a DNA chain for the individual.

Claims

1. A method for providing a personal genetic profile, comprising:

providing genetic data for an individual, wherein the genetic data comprises associated attribute information; and

mapping the genetic data using geographic information systems to spatially represent the genetic data in a thematic map based on the attribute information;

providing data for at least one genetic marker associated with the individual;

representing the at least one genetic marker at at least one location in the thematic map wherein the representation of the genetic marker comprises genetic marker data in alphanumeric format at a location adjacent to the genetic marker location;
providing a general database, including a least one feature associated with the at least one genetic marker, for a general population of individuals; and
receiving an Identifier associated with the individual, (1) using the Identifier to identify the individual, displaying at least one of (i) a visual representation of a selected portion of the individual's body indicating the at least one location for the at least one genetic marker, (ii) data for the at least one genetic marker associated with the individual, (iii) selected data on at least one disease associated with the at least one genetic marker, and (iv) data on at least one regulatory system associated with the at least one genetic marker, and (2) comparing data on the at least one feature associated with the at least one genetic marker from the general database with the displayed data for the individual.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising including in said Identifier at least one biometric indicium for said individual.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising drawing said biometric indicium from a group of biometric indicia associated with said individual and consisting of; at least one fingerprint, at lease one iris scan, at least one retinal scan, at least one facial pattern, at least one blood vein pattern; at least one voice print of said individual's voice; and at least one DNA analysis of a biometric sample received from said individual.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising including in said Identifier a selected token associated with said individual.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising including in said Identifier a selected password associated with said individual.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising;

providing said general database in a first data layer to any data user;

providing said genetic marker data in a second data layer; and

providing access to said individual's genetic marker data only upon presentation of said Identifier.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising;

providing said general database in a first data layer to any data user;

providing said genetic marker data in a second data layer having at least a selected second data layer first sub-region and a selected second data layer second sub-region;

providing access to said individual's genetic marker data in the second layer first sub-region only upon presentation of a first type of said Identifier; and

providing access to said individual's genetic marker data in the second layer second sub-region only upon presentation of a second type of said Identifier.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising configuring said second layer second sub-region of said genetic marker data to partially, but not fully, overlap said second layer second sub-region of said genetic marker data.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising configuring said second layer first sub-region of said genetic marker data and said second layer second sub-region of said genetic marker data to have substantially no overlap.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising representing said at least one genetic marker at at least one location in a coordinate system having at least two dimensions.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising representing said at least one genetic marker at at least one location in a coordinate system having at least three dimensions.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein said process of representing said at least one genetic marker at said at least one selected location comprises;

providing a primary chemical structure for a sequence of molecular constituents that are part of a DNA chain representing a biological makeup for said individual and including the selected location;

providing a secondary chemical structure for the sequence of molecular constituents that are part of the chain;

providing at least one value of a bond length between two consecutive molecular constituents of the chain and at least one value of a bond angle associated with two consecutive bonds between consecutive molecular constituents of the chain, where the at least one bond length and the at least one bond angle are consistent with the primary and secondary chemical structure of said molecular constituents that are part of the chain; and

providing a quantitative matrix relationship that describes three-dimensional coordinates for each molecular constituent that is part of the chain relative to a preceding molecular constituient in the chain and that is consistent with the primary and secondary chemical structure of said molecular constituents that are part of the chain.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein said process of providing said matrix relationship comprises representing said three-dimensional coordinates X′n+1=(xn-1, yn-1, zn-1) for location of a molecular constituent number n+1 in terms of said three-dimensional coordinates X′n=(xn,yn,zn), for location of a preceding molecular constituent number n in said chain by a relationship

R ⁡ ( ϕ n ⁢ υ n ) =  cos ⁢ ⁢ ϕ n ⁢ cos ⁢ ⁢ θ n sin ⁢ ⁢ ϕ n ⁢ cos ⁢ ⁢ θ n sin ⁢ ⁢ θ n - sin ⁢ ⁢ ϕ n cos ⁢ ⁢ ϕ n - 1 0 - cos ⁢ ⁢ ϕ n ⁢ sin ⁢ ⁢ θ n - sin ⁢ ⁢ ϕ n ⁢ sin ⁢ ⁢ θ n cos ⁢ ⁢ θ n  ,

where φn and θn are selected aximuthal and polar angles, respectively, associated with the molecular constituent number n+1.

14. The method of claim 1 further comprising creating a plurality of views within the thematic map based on a zoom scale.

15. The method of claim 14 further comprising using at least one of the plurality of views to create a selection set of genetic markers for exercising security administration over said genetic data, wherein exercising security administration over said genetic data comprises destroying the genetic data.
