Privacy in Epigenetics: Temporal Linkability of MicroRNA Expression Profiles

DNA and MicroRNAs • contains blueprint of what a cell potentially can do, • is (mostly) fixed over time, • can hint on risks of getting a disease. 4 • regulates what a cell really does, • expression changes over time, • can tell whether you carry a disease.
