Digital Sequence Information (DSI), though there is no universally accepted definition, refers to the digital information on the sequence order of subunits of molecules extracted from organisms. It includes digital biological data such as genetic information, bio information, natural information, sequence information, genetic sequence data, nucleotide sequence data or genetic resources in silico. The rapid growth in digital genetic resources and advances in synthetic biology and gene editing today has resulted in a situation where the utilization and exploitation of genetic and other information are possible without physically accessing the biological material. It creates multiple challenges when the data is exploited on a commercial scale. As the information is obtained from a biological material, its utilization and exploitation are governed by the Biodiversity laws. Questions on the model to be followed in accessing of the data, the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from its commercial exploitation are some of the concerns which the international community is facing today. In the webinar, various challenges which the DSI poses to the Biodiversity framework both at the international and national level will be discussed and deliberated upon at length. SPEAKERS Dr. Prabha S Nair Associate Professor of Law, Saveetha University, Chennai & Member of the National Level Expert Committee on Digital Sequence Information, National Biodiversity Authority Dr. Lesly Augustine Assistant Professor, Sacred Hearts College, Thevara Mr. Edward Hammond Advisor, Third World Network, Malaysia Dr. Narendran Thiruthy Technical Officer, National Biodiversity Authority, Chennai.

ABOUT THE WEBINARThe four-day webinar aims to sensitise the legalfraternity about the challenges posed by DigitalSequence Information on Biodiversity law. DigitalSequence Information (DSI), though there is nouniversally accepted definition, refers to the digitalinformation on the sequence order of subunits ofmolecules extracted from organisms. It includesdigital biological data such as genetic information,bio information, natural information, sequenceinformation, genetic sequence data, nucleotidesequence data or genetic resources in silico.

The rapid growth in digital genetic resources andadvances in synthetic biology and gene editingtoday has resulted in a situation where theutilization and exploitation of genetic and otherinformation are possible without physicallyaccessing the biological material. It creates multiplechallenges when the data is exploited on acommercial scale. As the information is obtainedfrom a biological material, its utilization andexploitation are governed by the Biodiversity laws.Questions on the model to be followed in accessingof the data, the fair and equitable sharing of thebenefits arising from its commercial exploitation aresome of the concerns which the internationalcommunity is facing today. In the webinar, variouschallenges which the DSI poses to the Biodiversityframework both at the international and nationallevel will be discussed and deliberated upon atlength.
