One for All and All for One.

SNP research has always been a huge competition between the scientific community, as it was mentioned in the "Design by Numbers" presentation. The first to make a significant discovery, the first to publish, and the first to be given bragging rights. Of course, a healthy little competitive nature between scientists never hurt, as it can motivate them to work harder. However, as shown with the SNP research, too much of a competition can create friction between the community, and it eventually becomes every man for themselves. This corrupts the original purpose of scientific research, along with the corruption of their government and their own greed. With all this corruption around SNP research, it's no wonder the scientists are unwilling to collaborate with one another. Unfortunately, this results in a stunt in the growth of our society, as scientists are not willing to come together in order to break through their SNP research sooner.
Perhaps, if the scientists are willing, there should be a gathering every month to discuss the progress of their research so far. This will allow scientists to be with each other for as short of a time as possible since they do not trust each other. This gathering could even be done over the web with a livestream so that scientists from all over the world can participate. A specific time can be set so that all the scientists that contribute to SNP research will be able to join, no matter what time zone they are in.
Since the SNP research faces so much corruption already, there should be a neutral party involved in the collaboration as well. This third neutral party should have representatives from all countries involved in SNP research. All the scientists will be required to send in their individual findings to the neutral party, and altogether, they will gather them up, and redistribute them to the scientists so they obtain each others' research. If a scientist has not given in their findings, then they will not receive the findings of others.
During the collaboration, no one is allowed to publish individually, because they are all for the same goal, not for their own individual fame.
This could be a potential solution since it requires minimal collaboration from the scientists and their government. This will also make sure that the scientists are up to date with each others' research.
However, this plan can also give a huge amount of problems in the future if it were to be carried out.To begin with, there is a huge problem with communication if the scientists were to live stream with each other. Unless the scientists spoke a common language, they would probably need an interpreter. Unfortunately this gives room to vital information and pieces being lost in translation, as well as backhand schemes where the interpreter purposely gives wrong information. Another problem could be that the neutral party could be corrupt as well. Even though, given by their title, they are supposed to remain "neutral", they are only human and can definitely succumb to their personal greed and gains. Also, there will be a huge problem in convincing the government to fund such a party, as they more than likely believe that their country is superior, and thus it is not required of them to collaborate.

It is very possible that there will be a idea of collaboration that works sometime in the future, but until then, the corruption of the scientific community continues.
