DNA测序技术领域的相关政府投入分析

Analysis on Governmental Investmention in DNA Sequencing Field

DNA测序技术是遗传工程的核心技术之一,发展快速和低成本的基因测序技术成为研究焦点。美国、欧盟等发达国家和地区大力支持DNA测序技术的创新研究,并投入了大量的科研经费。在美国,国家卫生研究院(NIH)下属的国家人类基因组研究院(NHGRI)、美国能源部(DOE)以及美国科学基金委(NSF)等机构是进行DNA测序技术相关项目经费分配的主要政府部门。DNA测序作为生命科学研究的关键技术也是欧盟框架计划资助的重要内容之一,其以多个欧洲国家间合作以及产学研合作的形式开展。中国在DNA测序技术领域也开展了一些研究。

DNA sequencing is one of the key technologies of genetic engineering, and developing rapid and low-cost gene sequencing methods has become research focus. Developed countries and regions like USA and EU are strongly supporting innovative researches on it, and have invested a lot of research funds. In the USA, National Human Genome Research Institute （NHGRI） under the National Institute of Health （NIH）, Department of Energy （DOE） and National Science Foundation （NSF） are the major governmental administrations that perform fund distribution. DNA sequencing is also one of the important fields fimded by European Framework Programme as a core technology of life science, which is practised by model of cooperation between many European countries, and cooperation among universities and industries. There are also some projects on DNA sequencing in China.
