人类基因组序列的发现(Lander等,2001;Venter等,2001)和其他动物基因组序列的发现(http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/Genomes)是科学探索历程上的主要里程碑。基因组的揭示已帮助确定了很多未知基因的功能。另外,它还能在发病机制研究中帮助确定某些基因的特殊作用。过去10年中,功能性 The discovery of the human genome sequence (Lander et al., 2001; Venter et al., 2001) and the discovery of other animal genomic sequences (http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/Genomes) are major milestones in the journey of scientific inquiry. The discovery of the genome has helped define the function of many unknown genes. In addition, it can help identify the specific roles of certain genes in the pathogenesis study. Over the past 10 years, functional
