<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We are pleased to report that the SisGen registration system will be available starting November 6th 2017. The registration system for using Brazil’s genetic heritage materials
for research allows for Brazilian Biological material to be legally shipped abroad for research. SisGen was created to manage: registration (access to genetic heritage, access to associated traditional knowledge, shipping genetic heritage, and sending genetic
heritage), notification (on finished products and use of reproductive material) and accreditation (for national institutions maintaining ex situ collections that hold genetic heritage). The ministerial order is below for your reference.
