【英语时差8,16】关于基因数据库（下）（在线收听）

 You know I read that the European Union is currently building an international biobank network. It will connect all the biobanks in Europe and make the combined resources available to researchers around the world. Some experts think that’s what’s needed in the United States. They say what we need is a national database to allow scientists to search the contents of biobanks throughout North America. And scientists need easy access to tissue samples from all biobanks. What are the chances that happening? Well. Biobanks tend to guard their resources pretty closely, yet many people think that the best way to cure disease is to make resources available to everyone.
