This will depend on how the study used the results and how it publishes its supporting data. Many times, studies will publish the Mitochondrial DNA Full Genomic Sequence (FGS) test results that were used. This may be in the form of a supporting data file or as an upload into a scientific database. Once these results are published, they may be accessed by anyone, including other researchers for future studies. The results remain anonymous.

Once your results are used in a scientific study, that study will publish the Mitochondrial DNA Full Genomic Sequence (FGS) test results in the form of a supporting data file. This includes the upload of results into the NCBI GenBank database. Once these results are published, they may be accessed by anyone, including other researchers for future studies. The results remain anonymous.
