Permits, contracts and their terms for biodiversity specimens

Figure 1 a

At the closing of the first decade of the 21st century the costs of genetic sequencing dropped fundamentally, coinciding with soaring numbers of publicly available sequences. After that time the growth rate of sequence numbers decreased.
