The Sovereign Genome: Navigating National Ownership and Control of Biological Data

Your DNA is no longer just yours—it's a matter of national security and state property.

As genetic sequencing explodes, the tension between individual privacy, global science, and state sovereignty has created a legal battlefield over who owns the code of life.

What are the benefits?

- Master the legal frameworks governing biological data within national borders.

- Understand the shift from the 'Global Commons' to strict sovereign jurisdiction.

- Identify the risks and rewards of state-controlled genetic databases.

- Navigate the complex intersection of biosecurity and international law.

- Gain unparalleled depth with 210 curated concepts mapped across 21 chapter-specific appendices for comprehensive technical mastery.
