Challenges of Genetic Data Sharing in African Studies
Trends Genet.
2020 Dec.
Abstract
Data sharing is a valuable aspect of science and required by most funding bodies and journals. However, the national regulatory guidelines of many African nations do not explicitly allow for broad genetic data sharing. Given these restrictions, there is a need to reconsider these policies and propose creative solutions.
