食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)英國食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局消息，4月13日英國食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局公布了全基因測序的發(fā)展概況報(bào)告。報(bào)告由首席科技顧問Guy Poppy教授編著。

    該報(bào)告描述了高速發(fā)展、成本降低的全基因測序?qū)ν卣箍茖W(xué)家研究食源性致病菌、迅速找出致病原并控制疫情的情況。報(bào)告還敘述了全基因測序在其他國家追蹤致病菌并鑒別食品真?zhèn)畏矫娴膽?yīng)用情況。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    The FSA has today published the new Science Report by its Chief Scientific Adviser Professor Guy Poppy. In this third issue of the Science Report, Professor Poppy looks at whole-genome sequencing, the science of mapping the genetic make-up of micro-organisms, and how this new technology can help the FSA's work to ensure food is safe and authentic.

    The report examines how the increasing speed and decreasing costs of whole-genome sequencing has transformed scientists' ability to investigate foodborne disease outbreaks, providing faster identification and control of outbreaks. The report also looks at how whole-genome sequencing is being used in other countries for tracking certain pathogens like listeria and its potential for checking the authenticity of food.
