Scientists begin mapping world's first volunteer gene

following
the completion of the "Yan Huang 1" program in October 2,, october 2007,,successfully map the world's first yellow gene, Shenzhen Huada Gene Research Institute announced in Beijing on the 5th officially launched the "Yan Huang 99" program, began to map the world's first anonymous volunteer gene mapIt is understood that this will be the world's first non-professional genetic map, the previous mapping of three human genetic maps from scientific professionals, such as "father of DNA" James WatsonThe "Yang Huang Project", co-sponsored byof the Shenzhen Huada Genetic Research Institute,
the Beijing Genomics Research Institute of theChinese Academy of Sciences, and the National Engineering Research Center forBioinformation Systems, is theof the Asian part of the global-scale yellow,white and black population comparative genome research program, jointly launched by scientists from theof China andlast year, and was launched in Shenzhen in last June " The Yan Huang Project is divided into three main steps: the first step is the first step in the "Yan Huang 1" yellow genome sequence map completed in October last year, and the second step is the of the Yan Huang 99 project, which aims to 99 individual human genome sequencing and polymorphic comparison to construct a of medical genetic polymorphism map for yellow people, , the Shenzhen Huada Genetic Research Institute plans to recruit 99 voluntary gene donors to complete the project
; Dr Wang Jian, director of The Institute of Genetics of Shenzhen Huada, said that Chinese must have their own data and reference samples to solve the genetic problems diseases unique to Chinese, and thus realize the prediction, prevention, early warning and effective individual diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and ultimately improve the health and level and quality of life The donation ceremony for the "Yan Huang 99" program was held in Beijing at the same time As the world's first individual to donate money to map whole genome sequences, the anonymous volunteer said he hopes to contribute to the development of the medical and health industries by deciphering his life code It is reported that the volunteer also expressed a willingness to do their utmost to support the study, the donation of funds in addition to the mapping of individual genetic sequence, the remainder will be included in the "Yellow Project" project fund The Journal of Science published its 2
2007 top ten scientific advances, with "Progress in the Study of Human Genome Differences" ranking first in the journal Science February
