人类基因组计划,与曼哈顿原子弹计划、阿波罗登月计划并称为自然科学史上的“三计划”。这项科学研究的不断发展,将会改变世界,影响我们每个人的生活。作为6个国家中唯一的发展中国家,我国科学家承担测定人类基因组全部序列1%的工作量,保证了我国在21世纪初能够站在生命科学研究的最前沿。正像原子能既可以和平利用又可制成原子弹杀人那样,人类基因组的破译,在造福人类的同时也会带来负面效应。 The Human Genome Project, together with the Manhattan Atomic Bomb Program and the Apollo Landing Program, is known as the “Three Plans” in the history of the natural sciences. The continuous development of this scientific research will change the world and affect the lives of all of us. As the only developing country in six countries, our scientists assume the task of measuring 1% of the total human genome sequence and ensuring that our country can stand at the forefront of life science research in the early 21st century. Just as atomic energy can be used both for peaceful purposes and for killing atomic bombs, the deciphering of the human genome can bring negative effects to the benefit of mankind.
