Abstract
This article demonstrates the qualitative impact of the development
of genomic technologies on national security, which
is leading to the emergence of new functions for government
agencies. It is argued that the accumulation of human genetic
data, its use for various social purposes, and the growing dependence
of personalized medicine on information about human
biology have led to the transition of genetics from a fundamental
science to a critical factor in state sovereignty. The specific aspects
of the sovereignty of human genetic data are highlighted.
A comparative legal study of the concept of genetic sovereignty
is conducted (using the examples of Mexico and China).
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...
