AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
🇬🇧 English
This regulation defines “digital sequence information” under the UK’s Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Act 2026. For marine genetic resources, it means DNA or RNA sequences held in digital form. The change matters mainly for organisations involved in marine genetic research, biotechnology, data repositories, and biodiversity compliance. It helps set the scope for how the UK will apply rules linked to the international agreement on marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.
