Abstract

Scientific discoveries and technological advancements have brought genomics into various spheres of modern society. Applied genomics significantly affected health care, biosafety, forensics, biotechnology, veterinary medicine, biodiversity, agriculture, information sciences, legislature, and other areas. However, applied genomics is characterized by the complexity of underlying technology, the abundance of information on genomic readouts, educational challenges, and ethical concerns stemming from the insights into the most intimate characteristics that biologically define an individual. Due to all this, there is an urgent need for immediate actions by concerned stakeholders to create rules and regulations for implementation of genomics in various fields of its applications and pave the way for its future development. The Applied Genomic Committee of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts formed working groups of leading Croatian experts to create a strategy that would facilitate the implementation of genomics in Croatia in the fields of biomedicine, biosafety and biosecurity, forensic medicine, biotechnology and bioinformatics, and computational biology with a special focus on ethical issues. As a result, the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts created and adopted a document entitled Applied Genomic Strategy for Croatia.
