The group of Chinese researchers has launched an international plan to increase the number of years of human health, by proposing to implement the new phase of the Human Genetum Project (HGP).

Accordingly, based on the milestone achievements that created the first series of genes two decades ago, the researchers proposed the genetic sequence of more than 1% of the world's population - equivalent.80 million people from more than 100 countries.

Data and results will be used to extend the average life of people by improving medical methods such as testing for genetic diseases and diagnosing rare diseases, and contributing to the distribution.Developing the accurate public health field is growing.

Not just stop at 1%

At the proposal of the II Genetic Project (HGP2), published in the editorial article in Cell Research magazine on September 11, this concept mentioned "The use of advanced technologies, analysisData and intervention to prevent disease, improve health and improve the provision of health care services at the population level. "

Participating in research were scientists from research institutes in 15 countries: China, Australia, Belgium, England, France, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Russia, Singapore, TurkeyKy, USA and Vietnam.

"HGP2 will certainly not stop at 1% of the world's population. However, by achieving the goals set for the first 1%, we believe that HGP2 will start a long -term model changeTowards accurate public health globally, "The team said in the article.

"This will open the door for the rest of humanity to use its genome to live healthier and longer, realize the vision of HGP", the team said.

HGP was started in 1990 under the leadership of American genetic doctors Francis Collins, with sponsorship from the US Department of Energy and the National Health Institute (NIH).

NIH's website describes HGP achievements completed in 2003, that:"International efforts to solve the 3 billion DNA letters in the human genome that many people are considered as one of the most ambitious scientific works of all time, even more than the separation of atoms or bringing children.people go to the moon ".

At that time, there was the participation of scientists from institutes in the UK, China, France, Germany and Japan, as well as the US institutes outside Nih.They are called the Federation of the International Genetic Semester.

In China, BGI Group, a genome research company based in Shenzhen City, was founded in 1999 as a genetic research center to participate in HGP.

Five scientists from BGI Group, along with two researchers from the University of Phuc Dan and the University of Beijing, are members of the international group, including 21 members behind the proposal to HGP2.

Chinese scientists say their goal is to turn the project into a "global research alliance" to support international cooperation.

"It is necessary to avoid redundancy efforts, if possible, to provide maximum support for existing scientific initiatives; this study alliance will promote group science, not competition.", Chinese scientists said."We hope that this proposal will inspire national national initiatives to soon be organized and cooperated around HGP2 principles."

The researchers said most of the project funding "will come from current and future national initiatives" and they will cooperate with the World and the United Nations Health Organization for support for support.sponsorship.

They will also organize an international funding initiative like the World Bank for low -income and medium -income countries to participate in the project so that "all can bring scale and representative needs to need.Thiet "for global efforts.

"When the cost of decoding the genome starts to drop below US $ 100, the personal genome will quickly become more popular and accessible.", the researchers said.

According to Battlele 2011 report, non -profit organization on applied science and technology, US $ 3.8 billion investment in the US government in HGP has promoted US $ 796 billion in US economic output., 244 billion USD in personal income for Americans and creating 310,000 jobs.

In 2010 alone, the genome -based industry has created sufficient federal and state taxes to cover the total amount of investment of the Government, while the report also noted the great potential effects ofDecoding human genes in medicine, agriculture, energy and the environment.

The report said:"HGP can be considered the most influential investment ever made in modern science and the foundation for the advancement in future biological science."
