[Star Trek: TNG - "The Chase"] Are the mission logs and findings regarding the ancient humanoids that seeded the galaxy public knowledge? Did it have any lasting effects on any of the races or their relations to each other?

The Federation would publicize it widely, the Romulans would claim they knew about it beforehand and that its validity was suspect. The Cardassians wouldn't bother publicizing it, no value in doing so. The Klingons wouldn't care, as it's merely some scientific discovery with no economic, industrial, strategic or tactical bearing on the Empire or its neighbours.

It's possible it was regarded as fringe science, and indeed the fact we don't hear about it more often isn't surprising. How often do you discuss new scientific discoveries with your co-workers at work? I'd imagine the Feds would have slight difficulty proving it really did happen beyond a shadow of a doubt, but with the backing of their scientific institutions and independent verification by individual members' scientific communities it'd take a year or two to really gain traction and be accepted scientific fact.
