Yeah right.
Those guys creating the award have zero knowledge on genomics.

They fear for google collection personal information AND personal genetic profiles?

Now where should THOSE come from?
Sequencing is a most tedious task, and the interessting parts which are sequenced - and maybe will from separate humans cannot (or only with difficulties) be used for personal identification.

The genetic profiles we all see in those crime-stories are an overall sampling, with intergenic regions and stuff - something that simply cannot be sequenced from every human.

It took the HGI and Celera years to aquire most of one human - and the technology then used is not far behind from what we have today.

So dream on. That's a very paranoid dream
