    Chengdu Research Base for Giant Panda Breeding revealed on the 17th, recently successfully produced a male healthy giant panda cub giant panda "Jingjing" was not only born in the giant panda "Olympic family", it is the completion of the "giant panda genome sketch" of the world's first giant panda.
    According to Shen Fujun, an expert at the Chengdu Research Base research center for giant panda breeding, in January 2008, the "2008 Giant Panda Genome Project" coordination meeting was held on the east coast of Vanke, Yantian District, Shenzhen, led by the Shenzhen Research Institute of Huada Gene.
    meeting decided that the Shenzhen Huada Genetic Research Institute will be responsible for the "Panda Genome Sketch (Frame Map)" jointly undertaken by the Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chengdu Research Base for Giant Panda Breeding, and the China Research Center for the Protection of Giant Pandas.
    January 31, 2008, Chengdu Research Base for Giant Panda Breeding completed the collection of blood samples of the giant panda Jingjing, which is used to extract the total DNA of the giant panda samples and build the BAC library.
    genome sketch was completed on October 11, 2008.
    is the first international project to specifically measure genetic information to protect endangered species.
    project is dominated by Chinese research institutions and technicians, using a new generation of sequencing technology.
    giant panda's genome is about the same size as the human genome, about 3Gb and contains between 20,000 and 30,000 genes.
    information provided by the "Giant Panda Genome Sketch" has had a profound impact on the protection and research of giant pandas, laying the foundation for research in the fields of physiology, immunity, reproduction, behavior, nutrition, development, ecology and evolution.
    on this platform, experts in various fields can conduct in-depth research at the molecular level on issues of interest to them, thus making a new breakthrough, which is a milestone in the scientific research and breeding of giant panda protection.
    the choice of giant pandas, Shen Fujun introduced that in 2008 the giant panda "Jingjing" is younger, and female, greatly reducing the difficulty of gene coefficient comparison parameters, so the choice of "Crystal".
