March 17, 2021 -  Recognising Indigenous Rights in Digital Sequence Information by Maui Hudson, University of Waikato. Hosted by ISCB

Indigenous concerns about genomic research have been strongly articulated over the past few years with accompanying suggestions about how to improve relationships with indigenous communities and the practice of research. Discussions are now moving towards how Indigenous rights can be recognised in the context of Digital Sequence Information including the recognition of provenance and sharing of protocols and permissions through labelling systems like Local Contexts.
