直到最近,人们对于开发大型的、技术性复杂的研究资源的设想才集中于自然科学的领域.过去三十年的科技发展与加速基础科学和医学应用发展的可能已经产生了生物学领域的第一“大科学”的设想——人类基因组工程.尽管这项工程目前仍无完整的定义,然而,与其密切相关的一种长远看法指导着这种设想的发展,那就是对染色体的位置、对50,000～100,000基因的分子组成、及对构成人类基因组的多种调节分子 Until recently, ideas for developing large, technically complex research resources were concentrated in the field of natural sciences, and the development and acceleration of science and technology and medical applications over the past three decades may have generated the first in the field of biology “The idea of” big science "- the human genome project Although there is no complete definition of the project so far, a closely related long-term view of how the idea evolves is about the location of chromosomes, The molecular makeup of 50,000 to 100,000 genes, and the various regulatory molecules that make up the human genome
