自从8000年前鸡被驯养以来,一直被视为人类食物蛋白的主要来源之一。而随着生物技术的发展,鸡基因组计划得以完成,其作为动物模型的研究价值也日益凸显;特别是家禽精密基因组编辑技术(也称基因组修饰技术)和转基因技术的发展促进了医药学、农业等应用科学及基础科学的进步。2014年10月召开的第十届亚太家禽研讨会上,来自韩国首尔国立大学的科研人员简述了家禽科学中的三大生物技术:转基因技术、种间嵌合体技术和基因组修饰技术。未来,上述相关技术可被进一步用于掌握疾病的发病机理、保护与拯救濒危鸟类以及制备生物反应器。 The chicken has been considered as one of the main sources of human food protein since it was domesticated 8,000 years ago. With the development of biotechnology, the chicken genome project has been completed and its research value as an animal model has become increasingly prominent. In particular, the development of poultry precision genome editing technology (also known as genome modification technology) and transgenic technology have promoted the development of medicine, agriculture Such as applied science and basic science. At the Tenth Asia-Pacific Poultry Symposium in October 2014, researchers from Seoul National University in South Korea outlined three major biotechnologies in poultry science: transgenic technology, interspecific chimerism and genomic modification. In the future, the above related technologies may be further used to grasp the pathogenesis of diseases, protect and rescue endangered birds and prepare bioreactors.
