The present invention provides a novel approach for consumer-driven interaction with sequencing data or genomic information. Sequencing data access, for users with a variety of access and permissions, may be mediated by a central hub. The hub may also facilitate access to the sequencing data for third party software applications. The hub may also provide data analysis or may have access to analyzed data to use such data in providing a user interface for a genome owner or for non-owner secondary users of the system.
