Popis: Data dominates modern computation and research. Any representational or abstract entity in the world is addressed by the data associated with it. Genomics involves the study, sequencing, and analysis of genomes to analyze the structure and the features of genetic components. Thus, the data generated is extremely significant and sensitive to security. Blockchain being popular as a distributed database promises a revolution. The paper explores the requirements of securing such data and discusses the concept and implementation of scenarios where blockchain technology can be implemented in the form of smart contracts to secure and manage the information.
