The relevance of the article is due, on the one hand, to the active introduction of genomic research technologies into everyday life and the accumulation of a significant amount of genetic information while providing medical care and other genome screening and sequencing services by private and state organizations. On the other hand, it is relevant due to the beginning of the implementation of large-scale government projects to create an information-analytical system for storing and processing genetic data. In these circumstances, the issues of developing an effective legal regulation of creating and functioning of human genome databases are of particular importance.Aim: to study the requirements of international and national standards for statutory regulation of relations connected to genomic researches, as well as to collecting, processing, storing and using genetic information.Methods: in the study formal logical and general scientific methods of scientific knowledge are used; private scientific (comparative legal, formal dogmatic) methods are used.Results: Based on these requirements, the current national legislation is assessed, an urgent need is defined to adopt a special federal law on the protection of genomic information, which enshrines the necessary rules on procedures for forming relevant databases, the procedure for storing and using the resulting genomic information, as well as the legal regime of the information contained in the database.
