Abstract

The article analyzes the current state of international legal regulation of genetic research in connection with the development of Russian legislation. The author concludes that all international legal regulation of genetic research is reduced today either to the establishment of basic principles or to prohibitions. The provisions of current Russian legislation governing genomic research do not go beyond the paradigm set out in international acts, although they have their own characteristics. The article notes that a distinctive feature of Russian legislative machinery is the detailed regulation of procedural issues and the powers of state bodies. At the same time, several issues including biobanking are not regulated at all. According to the author, the further development of science may require a more detailed regulation and a shift towards more flexible methods of regulation.
