Particular Aspects Of Collection, Study And Processing Of Genomic Information, Biomaterials Of Persons And Conduct Of Molecular Genetic Examination In Ukraine (Review Article)

Abstract

The article deals with issues of organization and examination of physical evidence of biological origin (molecular genetic examination), which is becoming an increasingly relevant element in criminal proceedings. The authors stress that study and processing of human genomic information, as well as conduct of molecular genetic examination in forensic science institutions, which have been studied in Ukraine and abroad, can be considered in two interrelated persepctives: relevant issues of appointing and conducting molecular genetic examination in conditions of modern legal reality; moral and ethical aspects of ensuring human rights on the use of genomic information and human biomaterial. Also, an analysis of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights in the field of using genomic information and human biological material was also carried out. The need for the legislative introduction of international standards in the process of molecular genetic examination has been identified and substantiated.
