Innocent Until Proven Guilty: The Case for Limiting 'Sequences of Concern' to Those with Demonstrated Pathogenic Function

December 9, 2025
Author(s)
Gene D. Godbold, Krista Ternus, Kevin Flyangolts, Nicole Wheeler, Michael Parker, Jacob Beal, Peter Carr, KEMPER TALLEY, Caitlin Jagla, Bryan Gemler, Craig Bartling, Rebecca Mackelprang, India Hook-Barnard, James Diggans, Samuel Forry, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Tyler Laird, Todd Treangen, Tessa Alexanian, Gregory Koblentz, Kevin Esvelt, Joshua Gil
Screening synthetic nucleic acid orders for sequences of concern is a necessary part of a healthy biosecurity regime, but it exacts costs for nucleic acid providers. Taxonomy is and will remain a critical part of the decision-making process for screening
