Abstract

BACKGROUND: Researchers have increasingly adopted AI and next-generation sequencing (NGS), revolutionizing genomics and high-throughput screening (HTS), and transforming our understanding of cellular processes and disease mechanisms. However, these advancements generate vast datasets requiring effective data stewardship and curation practices to maintain data integrity, privacy, and accessibility. This review consolidates existing knowledge on key aspects, including data governance, quality management, privacy measures, ownership, access control, accountability, traceability, curation frameworks, and storage systems.
