Claim 1: “All data that Russia has on genetic resources of animals, plants and microorganisms will be compiled in a national database of genetic information”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided web search results for this claim are generic descriptions of genetic resources (USDA, NCBI) and do not mention Russia's specific national database project. Only the context from the President's meeting (found in claim 3 evidence) supports the existence of the database, but the specific scope (animals, plants, microorganisms) is not corroborated by a second independent source in the provided evidence.
