Yang H. M., . (2010) Genomics : Recent breakthrough and its impacts. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Recent breakthrough in genomics especially the next-generation sequencing technology with significantly higher throughput and lower cost will revolutionise the whole field of life sciences medicine and bioindustry by providing huge amount of basic and upstream information of genes and genomes. The new application of sequencing technology indicates that sequencing should be understood as an approach for mutation detection structural analysis digital gene expression profiling epigenomics and metagenomics as well as gene regulation studies. Beijing Genomics Institute BGI has just published the complete genome sequence of the first Asian individual Nature Nov 6 2008 and announced the working drafts of giant panda by de novo sequencing wholly with the new sequencers and that of cucumber by a proper combination of Sanger and new sequencing technologies Shenzhen Oct. 11 2008 as well as the pilot phase of the International 1000 Genome Project following its previous contributions to the genome sequences of rice chicken silkworm pig and others as well as numerous microbes such as SARS virus AIV Streptococcus suis etc Like any others in technology in history the recent break-through in genomics provides the developing countries the opportunities to catch up and to apply it to their own biological research and bioindustries. We call for international collaboration of developing countries on genomics of species of scientific economic and ecologic significance.
