COLORED COIN HAVING INDIVIDUAL GENE PHENOTYPE APPLIED THERETO

Abstract

A colored coin having an individual gene phenotype applied thereto. Particularly, a colored coin manufactured and having an individual gene phenotype applied thereto such that an individual can be identified, cannot only be circulated freely as a Bitcoin block or colored coin metadata, but also is useful in various fields, such as gene-based character fabrication and gaming.

DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in details.

[0016] The present disclosure provides a colored coin, which is created by using: 1.1) a method of selecting a gene phenotype set made up of many lists that are not sensitive and do not involve clinical markers that can identify an individual, such as hair color, hair type, eye color, skin color, sex, and eye color; 1.2) a method of inserting a gene phenotype set into a colored coin, with the size minimized to about 200 bytes; 1.3) a method of inserting a gene phenotype set and a hashed value of the entire gene information side by side into a colored coin; 1.4) every method of transaction in which a gene phenotype set is put into a blockchain platform, i.e., Ethereum or EOS; and 1.5) a method of generating a key by arranging genotypes in a specific order in a phenotype set and using the same as a seed value for a hash key.

[0017] In the colored coin created according to the present disclosure, in the step 1.1), a set for identifying an individual may be selected by using a non-specific marker list of 100 or more markers, by taking many repeat markers of the same race into consideration (see Embodiment 1). Also, in the step 1.1), some or all of vcf, whole exome vcf, and whole genome vcf lists may be selected as only one phenotype set by using a genotyping array chip and an exome chip to represent at least 100,000 markers. Furthermore, in the step 1.1), a phenotype set may be made using 10,000 or more marker lists generally used for ancestry identification.

[0018] In the colored coin created according to the present disclosure, in the step 1.2), the only one phenotype set, which takes up about 200 bytes out of the block size of 1 MB to 32 Mb in most colored coins including Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash, may be inserted into a data region or inserted in the form of metadata userData (see Embodiment 2).

[0019] In the colored coin created according to the present disclosure, in the step 1.5), 2-byte alphabet letters are arranged in a predetermined order and used as only one seed value of a phenotype set of genotypes to generate a hash key. (See Embodiment 3).

[0020] A colored coin created according to the present disclosure may be used to manufacture, advertise, or sell a character using an individual's genes by using the individual's phenotype set. Also, the colored coin may be used to manufacture, advertise, or sell an individual's gene-based gene game by using the individual's phenotype set.

[0021] Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in details by the following embodiments. However, the following embodiment are only for illustration, but not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any embodiments having substantially the same structure and achieving the same operational effects as the technical spirit described in claims of the present disclosure are encompassed in the technical field of the present disclosure.

Embodiment 1. Selection of Phenotype Set

[0022] A phenotype set was selected from an individual's gene information that is related to the person's appearance but not sensitive, such as hair color, eye color, skin color, drinking habits, sexual behavior, birth rate, longevity, obesity, birth weight, muscle content, and malnutrition. The following Tables 1 and 2 show a phenotype set of skin color, eye color, and hair color selected from gene information of Koreans and Europeans.

[Population Mean Val] Average 0.66 0.57

[0023] Also, 900 Koreans and Europeans were randomly sampled for final selected 100 phenotype lists. As shown in Table 2 below, the results showed that 2.037E-10 alone represented the global population at values 0.8 or under.

Embodiment 2. Insertion into Colored Coin

2-1. Insertion of Phenotype Set into Bitcoin Block

[0024] A phenotype set selected in Embodiment 1 was inserted into a Bitcoin block by the method depicted in the pattern diagram of FIG. 3.

2-2. Insertion of Phenotype Set and Hash Value

[0025] As shown in FIG. 4, a phenotype set selected in Embodiment 1 was inserted, along with a hash value (e.g., a hashed value of genetic data), into a Bitcoin block.

2-3. Generation of Key

[0026] As shown in FIG. 5, a phenotype set selected in Embodiment 1 was used to generate a private key. In this case, the private key was calculated as a hash value by using a seed value of the genotypes of the selected phenotype.
