Genomic Connections #4 – From base pairs to briefcases: inside the Digital Sequencing Information (DSI) deal-making

The European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) and the European node of the International Barcode of Life (iBOL Europe), two international communities of scientists brought together under the Biodiversity Genomics Europe Project, are joining forces for “Genomic Connections,” a podcast show exploring the fascinating world of Biodiversity Genomics and the intersection of their communities.

In the fourth episode of Genomic Connections, Kasia and Christian chat with Amber Hartman Scholz, microbiologist and Head of the Science Policy & Internationalization Department at the Leibniz Institute DSMZ in Braunschweig, Germany. They dive into the topic of Digital Sequence Information, or DSI, and the ongoing global discussions on how to ensure equitable access to and fair sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic information from biodiversity.
