“Ethical Governance for Genomic Data Science in the Cloud” (DOI: 10.1038/s41576-024-00789-9) addresses the ethical considerations and governance challenges associated with managing human genomic data on cloud platforms. While cloud computing offers significant advantages for genomic research, such as scalability and accessibility, it also raises concerns about data privacy, security, and equitable access. The authors, including Jonathan Lawson, advocate for adapting data governance frameworks to ensure transparency, protect research participants, and promote sustainable and equitable data sharing practices in the cloud-based genomic research landscape.​
