In 2025, the Reagent Collaboration Network (Reclone) strengthened its global movement to democratize access to biotechnology through open collaboration and decentralized reagent production. Across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Regional Hubs and Nodes expanded local capacity to produce and share essential molecular biology tools under open frameworks such as the OpenMTA.
Through training, partnerships, and community exchange, Reclone advanced technical expertise, fostered open science practices, and grew its international presence. The milestones highlighted in this report reflect a year of collective progress toward a more equitable and resilient global biotechnology ecosystem.
Reclone 2025 in Numbers
Looking Ahead
As Reclone continues to grow, our focus remains clear: building a globally connected, locally empowered network that advances open, affordable, and sustainable access to biotechnology. The progress achieved this year reflects the strength of our community and the shared commitment to reshaping how reagents are produced, shared, and stewarded worldwide. Together, we are laying the foundation for a more equitable and collaborative future in science.
Acknowledgements
We are deeply grateful to the Reclone community members, whose generosity, expertise, and commitment continue to make equitable access to reagents possible.
