The sphere of genetic research and genetic materials is one of the most effective public security issues. Goal prove that genetic information and genetic databases should be considered as special bodies of criminal law protection, requiring special legal norms for their treatment. Tasks: сonsider the meaningful difference between genetic information and genetic data; to determine the directions of the development of the mechanism of criminal law protection of genetic information. Results: There is terminological difference between the definitions "genetic information" and "genetic data". Taking into account the special nature of this information, it is obvious at the legislative level of the regime with it. The approach to the processing of this type of information about a limited range of circumstances in which actions with genetic data are permissible should also be changed.
