0006847: Data Assurance Check
Hi MEGA Team, I work at Lancaster University in IT support, specifically dealing with software licenses and contracts. I have an enquiry re the data used in this software, is any of it personal or sensitive? Can any of the genetic information be traced to individuals or is everything used in in MEGA anonymized?

Best, Tom.

Hi Tom,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the MEGA software. MEGA does not use any personally or sensitive information. MEGA does not associate any genetic data with individuals.
