Crypt4GH: a file format standard enabling native access to encrypted data

Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza

Motivation: The majority of genome analysis tools and pipelines require data to be decrypted for access. This potentially leaves sensitive genetic data exposed, either because the unencrypted data is not removed after analysis, or because the data leaves t ...

Gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy: bridging the gap between the laboratory and real life

Lena Carcreff

Like 17 million people worldwide, an individual with cerebral palsy (CP) does not have the opportunity to walk harmoniously in society due to long-life impairments in movement and posture. The natural course of CP can be modulated by treatments and therapi ...
