Human Gene Lecture in Chinese State Council



Chinese Vice-Premier Li Lanqing and other leaders of the State Council attended a science lecture Wednesday at Zhongnanhai, the Chinese government compound, to learn more about the progress of the human genome project.

Chen Zhu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Shanghai Human Gene Research Center, briefed the leaders on the latest developments in the international human genome project (HGP).

Chinese scientists were admitted into the project to work with their counterparts from five other countries and asked to decipher one percent of the human genome sequencing.

China is the only developing country to participate in the project, he said.

China has rich gene resources, and the success of the HGP will contribute greatly to the medical, biological, and pharmaceutical sciences.

The lecture was sponsored by the General Office of the State Council.
