| الوصف: | First published: 12 July 2023. OnlinePubl ; The rise of sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) studies has opened new possibilities for studying past environments. This groundbreaking area of genomics uses sediments to identify organisms, even in cases where macroscopic remains no longer exist. Managing this substrate in Indigenous Australian contexts, however, requires special considerations. Sediments and soils are often considered as waste by-products during archaeological and paleontological excavations and are not typically regulated by the same ethics guidelines utilised in mainstream 'western' research paradigms. Nevertheless, the product of sedaDNA work-genetic information from past fauna, flora, microbial communities and human ancestors-is likely to be of cultural significance and value for Indigenous peoples. This article offers an opinion on the responsibilities of researchers in Australia who engage in research related to this emerging field, particularly when it involves Indigenous communities. One aspect that deserves consideration in such research is the concept of benefit sharing. Benefit sharing refers to the practice of ensuring that the benefits that arise from research are shared equitably with the communities from which the research data were derived. This practice is particularly relevant in research that involves Indigenous communities, who may have unique cultural and spiritual connections to the research material. We argue that the integration of Traditional Knowledges into sedaDNA research would add enormous value to research and its outcomes by providing genomic outputs alongside and within the rich context of multimillennia oral histories. ; Dawn A.
