We advise only modifying citation.tsv and other metadata blocks that ship with Dataverse via pull request rather than trying to maintain local copies. We express this in the guides as "Generally speaking it is safer to create your own custom metadata block
rather than editing metadata blocks that ship with the Dataverse
Software, because changes to these blocks may be made in future
releases."
https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.5/admin/metadatacustomization.html
That said, many installations out there must be modifying citation.tsv because "Genetic Resource" is the number one subject under the "Datasets by Most Common Subject" graph (screenshot attached) on our metrics site that aggregates across known Dataverse installations. Please see
https://dataverse.org/metrics
There's quite a long tail of subjects installations have added. Here's the data behind that graph:
