The human genome project: past, present, and future

This article presents a short discussion of the development of the human genome program in the United States, a summary of the current status of the organization and administration of the National Institutes of Health component of the program, and some prospects for the future directions of the program and the applications of genome information.

水稻种质资源萌发期与孕穗期耐冷性鉴定

目的筛选耐寒性水稻品种。方法以广泛代表性的14个亚洲国家187个水稻核心种质为研究对象,根据种内群体关系和地理位置将其分为4个平行组;分别对4个平行组的三叶期幼苗进行4 ℃低温处理,时间梯度设为24、36、48和60 h,7 d缓苗期后统计其秧苗黄叶率并鉴定耐寒等级。结果根据黄叶率百分比可以精准鉴定水稻的5个耐寒等级,且粳稻的耐寒性普遍比籼稻强。11个强耐寒品种主要分布于高纬度或高海拔地区。4 ℃处理24和36 h后的黄叶率在不同品种间呈现丰富多样性,该耐寒处理方式获得的表型性状适合全基因组关联分析。结论品种之间耐寒性的差异不仅由遗传因素决定,还与其地理分布和当地种植策略相关。本研究初步筛选出11个苗期耐寒水稻品种,可为耐寒种质资源的遗传改良和分子育种提供参考。     

Poster: the macaque genome

The rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) facilitates an extraordinary range of biomedical and basic research, and the publication of the genome only makes it a more powerful model for studies of human disease; moreover, the macaque's position relative to humans and chimpanzees affords the opportunity to learn about the processes that have shaped the last 25 million years of primate evolution. To allow users to explore these themes of the macaque genome, Science has created a special interactive version of the poster published in the print edition of the 13 April 2007 issue. The interactive version includes additional text and exploration, as well as embedded video featuring seven scientists discussing the importance of the macaque and its genome sequence in studies of biomedicine and evolution. We have also created an accompanying teaching resource, including a lesson plan aimed at teachers of advanced high school life science students, for exploring what a comparison of the macaque and human genomes can tell us about human biology and evolution.
