Multilateral benefit-sharing from digital sequence information will support both science and biodiversity conservation

Nat Commun. 2022 Feb 23;13(1):1086. doi: 10.1038/s41467-022-28594-0.

Abstract

Open access to sequence data is a cornerstone of biology and biodiversity research, but has created tension under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Policy decisions could compromise research and development, unless a practical multilateral solution is implemented.
