人体微生物组计划

The human microbiome project

人体微生物组计划又称第二人类基因组计划。由美国国立卫生研究院立项资助,2007年正式启动。计划用5年时间耗资1.5亿美元完成900个人体微生物基因组测序。其目标是探索研究人类微生物组的可行性;研究人体微生物组变化与疾病健康的关系;同时为其它科学研究提供信息和技术支持。

The Human Microbiome Project（HMP）,also known as the second human genome project,was initiated by the National Institutes of Health（NIH） in 2007.HMP was a 5-year project that was funded at $150 million and aimed to complete 900 bacterial genome sequences from human microbiome.The goals of the HMP are to demonstrate the feasibility of characterizing the human microbiome well enough to enable study of the variation in the human microbiome and its influence on disease,while providing both a standardized data resource and technological developments for the scientific community.
