The first national gene bank, built by China's generesearch giant BGI, started trial operation lastSaturday in Shenzhen.
我國(guó)首個(gè)國(guó)家級(jí)基因庫(kù)上周六在深圳投入試運(yùn)行。該基因庫(kù)由國(guó)內(nèi)基因研究巨頭華大基因建設(shè)。
Wang Jian, chairman of the company, said the genebank has a collection of 10m samples of biologicalresources. The project is expected to boostresearch and business in fields of health, agriculture,diverse species and environmental protection.
據(jù)華大基因董事長(zhǎng)汪建介紹,該基因庫(kù)已存儲(chǔ)生物資源樣本1000萬(wàn)份。該項(xiàng)目將推動(dòng)健康、農(nóng)業(yè)、物種多樣性和環(huán)保等領(lǐng)域的研究和業(yè)務(wù)。
