Chinanews, Shenzhen, Sept 26 – The Shenzhen Huada Genetic1 Research Center is working out the world's first diagram on the genome sequences of the Asian people. The work is expected to be completed by the end of this year, said a person in charge of the project, the Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported.

 

The project is jointly2 undertaken by the Shenzhen Huada Genetic Research Center, the Biological Information System at National Engineering Research Center, and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Beijing Genetic Research Team.

 

The Shenzhen Huada Genetic Research Center is a non-profit, private research organ jointly funded by Shenzhen municipal government, Yantian district government, and several companies.

 

After completing the genome sequences for hybrid3 rice, the research center began to work out the genome sequences for the Asian people. There are now 2 billion people in the world that belong to the Asian people group. Previously4, scientists from six countries in the world had completed the genome sequences for the humankind. This time, Chinese scientists want to draw the complete genome sequences of the Asian people with their own efforts. This should serve as a historical achievement, said the person in charge at the Shenzhen Huada Genetic Research Center.
