Abstract
The article analyzes the possibilities of commercialization of scientific research results of the human genome and its positive impact on research activities, provided that the information is properly protected. As shown by the legal regulation of scientific research of the human genome in certain states, the secret of private life (privacy) is the main content of the contract practiced in the field of medical services. Genetic information, although similar to medical secrecy when entering into a contract for the provision of medical services, differs in a public element in connection with the use of digital technologies in scientific research. The requirement to protect genome privacy is a mutual obligation of the parties in the contract. This parties do not always give proper attention to such issue. Legal regulation of genomic research will help to formulate a pragmatic attitude to the problem and find a balance between the risk and benefits of human knowledge.
