DeGenome-A-Decentralized-Privacy-Preserving-Infrastructure-for-Secure-Genomic-Data-Sharing
DeGenome is a decentralized platform designed to securely collect, store, and analyze genomic data while preserving individual privacy and at the same time building a knowledge base for genomic data that could be used for biomedical research, disease prediction, and drug discovery.
What it does
From the project README:
DeGenome is a decentralized **Trusted Research Environment (TRE)** for genomic data governance. It serves as a secure, two-sided marketplace where genomic data contributors retain permanent custody and control of their datasets, and researchers obtain governed, cryptographically audited, and tiered access to genomic insights.

Dapp: devnet deploy pending
⏳ Devnet deploy pending — goes live when the devnet wallet is topped up. This fork's own dapp is not deployed yet, so there is no program address or transaction to show. It is queued in dapp-queue.txt; once devnet SOL is available it is deployed, exercised with real devnet transactions, and this section switches to the live dapp at /dapps/degenome-a-decentralized-privacy-preserving-infrastructure-for-secure-genomic-data-sharing/. Until then, the lesson and step-by-step guide below are complete, and you can run it locally with the commands below.
