When parents brought their newborns home from the hospital, they brought back not only infinite joy, but also the genome sequencing results of the children. The National Institutes of Health announced on the 4th that it will invest a total of US $ 25 million over the next five years to fund the prospects and ethical challenges of genome sequencing for newborns, making genomic sequencing technology an important step toward large-scale application.
Alan Gutmacher, director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, a member of the National Institutes of Health, said in a statement that day: "Genome sequencing can detect disease risks early in life, but this kind of deciphered personal inheritance The ability of cryptography is also accompanied by many clinical and ethical issues, so it is important to discuss the three issues of genomic research technology, clinical and ethics related to the neonatal stage. "
The National Institutes of Health plans to fund four research groups, including the Brigham and Gynecology Hospital and Boston Children ’s Hospital, which will study how newborn parents use the results of genome sequencing to prevent children ’s future illnesses and treatments.
Staff at the Massey Children ’s Hospital in Kansas will target neonates in intensive care to investigate whether genome sequencing can speed up disease diagnosis. Two research groups from the University of California, San Francisco and the University of North Carolina conducted research on the sequencing of newborn exomes to confirm whether the technology can be used in conjunction with existing newborn screening methods.
Exome refers to the protein coding region in the genome, which only accounts for about 1% of the entire human genome sequence. At present, the United States has carried out heel blood screening for newborns for decades, aiming at early diagnosis of genetic and metabolic diseases, so as to intervene early and prevent irreversible damage to body tissues and organs.
However, there are only dozens of diseases that can be diagnosed by this screening, and there are about 7000 diseases that are clearly related to a single gene defect. At the same time, the rapid decline in the cost of genome sequencing has made it possible to promote its application. At present, the cost of personal whole genome sequencing is about US $ 5,000, while the total exome sequencing cost only about US $ 1,000.
Office furniture refers to various types of furniture used in office spaces, including tables, chairs, cabinets, etc. The classification of office furniture is mainly based on its purpose. The following will provide a detailed introduction to the classification of office furniture.
1. Office Desk: A desk is one of the most basic furniture in the office, used to hold computers, documents, and office supplies. According to different shapes and functions, office desks can be divided into straight, L-shaped, U-shaped, conference tables, etc.
2. Office Chair: Office chairs are essential furniture for employees in the office, used to provide sitting support and comfort. According to different functions and materials, office chairs can be divided into office staff chairs, conference chairs, executive chairs, sofa chairs, etc.
3. Conference tables and chairs: Conference tables and chairs are furniture used for meetings and business negotiations, usually consisting of large tables and comfortable chairs. According to different shapes and functions, conference tables and chairs can be divided into round tables, long tables, oval tables, etc.
4. File cabinet: A file cabinet is furniture used to store and manage files and information, usually consisting of multiple drawers. According to different materials and usage methods, file cabinets can be divided into steel file cabinets, wooden file cabinets, sliding file cabinets, etc.
5. Bookshelf: A bookshelf is furniture used to store books and documents, providing neat and orderly storage space. According to different shapes and materials, bookshelves can be divided into wooden bookshelves, metal bookshelves, glass bookshelves, etc.
