[Management of Data Sharing of Human Genetic Resources and Its Enlightenment to China]

Human genetic resources are valuable for life science research and pharmaceutical industry.Competitions for human genetic resources and the relevant techniques and industries have increasingly become intense among countries with the the implementation of precision medicine strategy and the maturity of gene editing technology.In the context of scientific progress and efficiency,the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development,the most important international economic organization,has proposed solutions to technological development and research paradigm changes from the perspective of national and global public interests.The United States,Japan,the United Kingdom,and some other developed countries have also released their policies and guidelines on the sharing of genetic resource data.In this article we analyzed these policies and guidelines,with an attempt to further improve the administration of human genetic resource sharing in China and promote the legal sharing and effective use of these resources.
