The article is devoted to the examination of the problems of providing support for ecological safety of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation when genomic technologies are being implemented. Relying on the results of the analysis of core documents of the state strategic planning, normative legal acts, programs and plans defining strategic determinations of socio-economic development of the Arctic zone, as well as normative legal acts regulating genomic technologies, the authors determine the main threats (risks) to ensuring ecological safety of the region, analyze potential economic and environmental possibilities for the application of certain genomic technologies with due regard to the vulnerable ecosystem of the Arctic.
