DNA sequencing of the deceased could lead to a number of advances in health care. A group of scientists in Denmark have launched a proposal to create the world’s first national necrogenomic database.

The registry would collect genomic data from the recently deceased. Coupled with information of past illnesses and ailments, the new data could generate insights into hereditary diseases, genomic disease triggers, and drug efficiency.
