Abstract
The invention relates to methods and systems for social networking based on profile characteristics (e.g., including phenotypic information) and/or genetic sequence information.
Claims30
A method of social networking based on nucleic acid sequence analysis comprising the steps of:
- (a) storing in a data storage system nucleic acid sequence data and user profile data for each of a plurality of users of a social networking community;
- (b) receiving a query from one of said users of said social networking community for identifying one or more other users of said social networking community having given user profile characteristics and nucleic acid sequence characteristics;
- (c) identifying a set of one or more users having the given user profile characteristics;
- (d) of said set of one or more users identified in (c), identifying a subset of users having said given nucleic acid sequence characteristics;
- and
- (e) transmitting information on said subset of users to the user submitting the query.

A social networking system based on nucleic acid sequence analysis comprising:
- a data storage system for storing nucleic acid sequence data and user profile data for each of a plurality of users of a social networking community;
- and
- a computer server for (a) receiving over a computer network a query from one of said users of said social networking community for identifying one or more other users of said social networking community having given user profile characteristics and nucleic acid sequence characteristics;
- (b) identifying in the data storage system a set of one or more users having the given user profile characteristics;
- (c) identifying a subset of users having said given nucleic acid sequence characteristics from said set of one or more users;
- and (d) transmitting information on said subset of users to the user submitting the query.

A social networking system based on nucleic acid sequence analysis comprising:
- a repository for nucleic acid sequence data and user profile data for each of a plurality of users of a social networking community;
- and
- a computer server for (a) receiving over a computer network a query from one of said users of said social networking community for identifying one or more other users of said social networking community having given user profile characteristics and nucleic acid sequence characteristics;
- (b) identifying in the data storage system a set of one or more users having the given user profile characteristics;
- (c) identifying a subset of users having said given nucleic acid sequence characteristics from said set of one or more users;
- and (d) transmitting information on said subset of users to the user submitting the query.
