Summary
The America’s Living Library Act directs the Interior Department, through the U.S. Geological Survey, to start a pilot project that gathers DNA samples from plants, animals, fungi and microbes in selected national parks. The data will be sequenced, stored, and placed in a publicly accessible database, with sensitive location details withheld. The goal is to build a national genomic library that supports conservation, research and public education.
