This is the first scientific research achievement led by scientists in China, which lasted for two years. After in-depth study on the data of non-invasive prenatal genetic testing in China10.4 million people, the genetic characteristics of China population were revealed for the first time. It is also the first show of the "Millions of Gene Big Data Research" project led by Huada.
In this regard, Dr. Xu Xun, Dean of Huada Institute of Life Sciences and the first author of this article, said that the research results have two important meanings. First, it marks that the life science industry has officially entered the era of genetic big data from the detection and diagnosis of a single sample.
Secondly, it is also verified that precision medical research based on large population has become a new scientific research model, which has pioneering value for genomics big data research.
Xu Xun believes that the research results also prove that the life science industry has officially entered the era of genetic big data from the detection and diagnosis of a single sample.
The study found that there are great differences in plasma virology between China and Europe, such as.
The top two in Europe are herpes virus type 7 associated with rash and herpes virus type 4 associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, while hepatitis B virus ranks first in China, with an infection rate of about 2.5%.
