对大多数人来说,生物技术是冷科学。但看看这一组数据,你就会知道,这一看似“高冷”的学科,正与普通人的生活渐行渐近。20世纪末,人类进行第一个人类基因的解码,来自6个国家的超过3000名技术人员,运用数百台测序仪,耗时13年,于2003年绘制出了人类基因组序列草图,所用总资金超过30亿美元。2011年,基因测序的成本为1亿美元,2013年,这项成本已经降至不到1万美元,2014年初,运用一台打印机大小的 For most people, biotechnology is cold science. But look at this set of data and you will know that this seemingly “cold ” discipline, is approaching the life of ordinary people. At the end of the twentieth century, humanity decoded the first human gene, employing more than 3,000 technicians from six countries. Using hundreds of sequencers and taking 13 years, the human genome sequence was sketched in 2003. The total amount spent Over 3 billion U.S. dollars. In 2011, the cost of genetic sequencing was 100 million U.S. dollars. In 2013, the cost had dropped to less than 10,000 U.S. dollars. In early 2014, a printer size
