¡¡¡¡In April 2002, authorized by the State Development Planning Commission,
National Engineering Research Center of Bioinformatics System co-founded
by Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing Huada Genomics Research Institute.
The center equipped with world top-raking computers and genome analysis
instruments, established systematized and integrated technological platform
for carrying out genomics and bioinformatics research and therefore formed
the national engineering research center of bioinformatics system which
tightly combined life science and information technology.
Basic development idea
¡¡¡¡With the biotechnology market in China and the world as the guidance,
develop technological platform to storage, search, analyses and process
bio-information, establish and consummate bio-information database with
Chinese resource character and independent intellectual property, train
high level professionals to meet the need of developing biotechnology
industry, lay the foundation for sustainable development of life science
and biotechnology industry in China. Provide information and counseling
for the development of biotechnology industry and relevant fields and
gradually become the world top-raking bio-information mining and research
center. At the same time, find the new management model and running mechanism
to reach a fine cycle of technology, talent and finance.
Major target tasks
¡¡¡¡Rely on Huada Genomics Research Institute, establish a large-scale,
high through out and low cost DNA sequencing technological platform capable
of competing in the world;
Carry out important genome research project at home and abroad;
¡¡¡¡Become the core force in international DNA sequencing service centers
and biology resource study and development in China;
¡¡¡¡Build up an information processing system that is capable of taking
part in the world competition to meet the urgent needs of under going
researches on super hybrid rice genome, porcine genome and polymorphism
of Chinese genome;
¡¡¡¡Establish a comprehensive bio-information database with Chinese character
and international influence;
¡¡¡¡Provide technological support to bio-technological industry development
and grow through industrialization and finally achieve the goal of maintaining
and developing totally depend on ourselves.
