These days, however, the notion of that bounty is expanding. Increasingly, it includes genetic building blocks contained in unique deep-sea creatures that thrive under conditions once thought impossible for sustaining life.
But as biotech companies begin to eye these organisms as a potential source of raw material for medicines and other products, calls are emerging for rules of the road to help ensure that the benefits of deep-sea gene prospecting are shared globally.
