Description
It is recognised that Digital Sequence Information (DSI) contributes to scientific research as well as to other non-commercial and commercial activities in areas such as biological diversity, food security and human, animal and plant health. DSI is often considered a critical tool in the conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources for environment, food and agriculture.
This project is to further investigate the nature and use of digital sequence information, in order to inform thinking around possible mechanisms to ensure that DSI is used in a fair and equitable manner.
