Abstract:

DNA data storage is a key for the development and application of synthetic biology. With the advent of high density storage technology for long period and more stable and secure data storage, the shortage of storage capacity caused by the explosive growth of data can be addressed. Thus, exploring the legal issues for the storage of DNA data is more important than ever for ethics with the emerging science and technology. At the human rights level, human dignity and privacy need to be protected, and the data gap between human beings available and unavailable to the data to be minimized, through the development of complete policy and legal systems for DNA data storage. At the security level, it is suggested to strengthen the security governance of DNA data storage technology by combining information security and biosafety issue. At the level of intellectual property, it is suggested to improve patent protection, and optimize the legal environment of intellectual property, so as to promote the technological innovation and application of DNA data storage technology.

Key words: DNA data storage technology, synthetic biology, information security, legal governance, governance over ethics in science and technology
