1. A system, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to;
(a) receive genetic characteristic information and/or phenotypic characteristic information pertaining to a desired genetic characteristic and/or phenotypic characteristic;
(b) using the genetic characteristic information and/or phenotypic characteristic information, search one or more data stores comprising genetic information and/or phenotypic information of individuals for whom genetic information and phenotypic information have been previously obtained to identify a candidate group comprising a plurality of individuals having the desired genetic characteristic and/or the phenotypic characteristic, wherein the one or more data stores further comprise contact information of each of the individuals for whom genetic information and phenotypic information have been previously obtained and for whom the genetic information and/or phenotypic information is/are stored in the one or more data stores;
(c) assemble a cohort of one or more individuals based at least in part on the desired genetic characteristic and/or phenotypic characteristic of the plurality of individuals of the candidate group;
(d) in response to a request by a first user, having a first assigned role permitting access to genetic information and/or phenotypic information of each of the individuals for whom genetic information and phenotypic information have been previously obtained and for whom the genetic information and/or phenotypic information is/are stored in the one or more data stores, to gain access to the genetic information and/or phenotypic information of the one or more individuals of the cohort, send at least some data pertaining to the genetic information and/or phenotypic information in the one or more data stores for the one or more individuals of the cohort assembled in (c), and prevent, pursuant to the first assigned role, the first user from accessing data pertaining to contact information of the one or more individuals of the cohort assembled in (c); and
(e) in response to a request by a second user, having a second assigned role permitting access to contact information of each of the individuals for whom genetic information and phenotypic information have been previously obtained and for whom the genetic information and/or phenotypic information is/are stored in the one or more data stores, to gain access to contact information of the one or more individuals of the cohort assembled in (c), send data pertaining to the contact information of the one or more individuals of the cohort and prevent, pursuant to the second assigned role, the second user from accessing data pertaining to the genetic information and/or phenotypic information in the one or more data stores of the one or more individuals of the cohort assembled in (c); and
one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions and/or data.

Abstract
Assembling a cohort includes: receiving genetic characteristic information pertaining to a desired genetic characteristic; using the genetic characteristic information to search a data storage comprising information of previously genotyped individuals to derive a candidate group having the desired genetic characteristic; and assembling the cohort based at least in part on the candidate group.
