 to handle such big data?\n    Do we really want to know the deepest secret
 s of our genome\, and how is such knowledge protected\n    Should insuranc
 e policies take into account an individual's disease risk as estimated fro
 m genomics studies?\n\nThese and other aspects of genome data privacy will
  be covered at the CBSA's question-style debate "The Secrets of Your Genom
 e".  \n\nThe panel includes:\n\nDr Robert Semple is a Wellcome Trust Senio
