April 2025 EFF: Biogenome Science at an International Scale: Navigating ELSI Challenges

The Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) aims to collect whole genome sequences from all eukaryotic species on Earth before 2028 and produce an open DNA database. The African BioGenome Project (ABP) is a pan-African effort to build capacity and infrastructure to generate, analyze and deploy genomics data for the improvement and sustainable use of biodiversity and agriculture across Africa. What are ELSI the issues associated with these projects? Can data and samples be collected, shared, and used in ways that appropriately recognize their provenance and potential? This session considered how the benefits of biodiversity genomics can be realized locally and internationally.
