Researchers complete the largest Chinese genome sequencing to date October 8, 2018 Source: Xinhua News Agency Author: Zhou Zhou An international research team led by Chinese researchers said on the 4th that they have completed the largest Chinese genome sequencing and analysis to date, helping to uncover the link between genes and fertility and to understand the genetic structure of China's population. The study, published in the new issue of Cellular, shows that the Shenzhen Huada Gene Research Institute has collected some genomic samples from more than 140,000 Chinese pregnant women using the “non-invasive prenatal genetic testing†technology. "Non-invasive prenatal genetic testing" is a technique for sequencing small amounts of free DNA in pregnant women to detect chromosomal abnormalities. The researchers said that the study's sequencing targets accounted for about one-tenth of China's total population, and in addition to the Han nationality, it also covered 36 ethnic minorities. The study identified new genetic loci associated with phenotypes such as height and body mass index (BMI) and also found a unique viral DNA distribution in the Chinese genome. The sequencing results also show that the Chinese have genetic variants common to some Indians, Southeast Asians, and Europeans along the ancient Silk Road. The study found that a genetic variant called NRG1 is associated with the probability of twins in pregnant women. In addition, a genetic variant is associated with a high concentration of herpesvirus 6 in the blood of pregnant women, which is a common cause of "rose rash" in infants. Xu Xun, co-author of the paper and dean of the Huada Gene Research Institute, said that although “non-invasive prenatal genetic testing†is low-throughput sequencing, the base number of sequencing targets is large, so the above data still contributes to a global picture of the genetic structure of the Chinese population. Sexual understanding. Rasmus Nelson, a co-author of the paper and a professor of integrated biology at the University of California, Berkeley, said that it is great to get such a large sample size and find out the relationship between genetic variation and human characteristics. Multiplex RT-PCR Test Reagent Kit Of COVID-19(ORF1ab)/Influenza A/Influenza B The Multiplex RT-PCR Test Reagent Kit Of COVID-19(ORF1ab)/Influenza A/Influenza B is a real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test reagent that detects and differentiates RNA from SARS-CoV-2, influenza A virus, and influenza B virus in upper or lower respiratory specimens. The assay provides a sensitive, nucleic-acid-based diagnostic tool for evaluation of specimens from patients in the acute phase of infection.
