%X The importance of data sharing has become a mantra within the science research community. However, sharing has not been as easy (or as readily adopted) as advocates have suggested. Questions of privacy, individual scientist¡¯s rights to their research, and industry-academia divides have been significant hurdles. This article looks at the history of the debates and problems associated with data access that occurred during the ¡®human genome wars¡¯ and their aftermath as a way to explore some of the challenges facing diverse research communities.
