Collection of Genetic Material

[Heretic]

Hey folks,

 

I'm currently looking into the viability of collecting genetic materials. More so from a security, or marketing stand point rather then a genetic engineering standpoint.

 

I'm sure someone here has done research on a similar topic and I was wondering if there was any paticular scientist or maybe an article on the subject you rather enjoyed or found informative.

 

I'm not asking form movie or book titles, though they are welcome (as I do enjoy the occasional Sci-Fi read) but I'd like to try to keep it to scientific articles. Even one dealing with the morality would be nice.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can muster.

 

EDIT: This is not business or school related merely curiousity.

collecting genetic material as in genomic libraries?

Yes that would be the end result.

 

I'll show the the article that got me interested in the whole topic.

I was wondering exactly what benefits the private and health market have to gain and consequently how data gathering of this kind could affect society.
