On May 13, 2016, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), together with federal agencies and private fund management agencies, announced the launch of the National Microbiome Initiative (NMI), the Obama administration's brain plan. Another major national scientific research program launched after the “moon landing†of precision medicine and anti-cancer.
In fact, in May of last year, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in the United States issued a statement saying that research on the basic issues of microbial communities or “microbiome†will help promote the practical application of basic research to a wide range of fields, including the environment. Governance, food production, nutrition and medical research. Given the proven and potential value of microbiome research in various application areas. After a year, the United States finally took the lead and launched this big plan!
According to the information released by the White House, the new research plan focuses on the following aspects: supporting interdisciplinary research to solve basic problems of microbes in different ecosystems; developing platform technology, understanding of microbial groups in different ecosystems and knowledge Accumulate and increase access to microbiological data; expand the influence of microbes through citizen science and public participation.
The microbiology research program has a strong lineup: the US Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Ministry of Agriculture have all published research directions. These departments will work together on environmental microbiology research to form the NMI research system. The US government has spent $300 million a year on microbial research, and the NMI program will increase funding in this area by $121 million. In response to the White House’s move, investors and research institutions will follow up with $400 million in funding (Bian comment: In fact, the money is really not much, China’s follow-up is certainly several times! But the official attitude is the most important. ).
What will the NMI program bring to us? This is a difficult question to answer. If all the environmental microbes and human microbes related to human beings are clarified, this will be one of the important events in human history. At the same time, research tools and means of progress will increase the efficiency of microbial research. The microbe itself is a huge knowledge base that will largely change our attitudes towards microbes, the environment and ourselves. For example, we use lifestyle changes to increase the impact of microbes on human health.
In fact, in addition to the NMI program, the large human microbiological research program currently launched in the United States and the European Union includes the Human Microbiome Program (HMP) and MetaHIT. Launched by the National Institutes of Health, the HMP program aims to collect all microbes associated with the human body and explore the effects of microbial abundance on the human body to help us understand its role in human health and disease. The MetaHIT program is one of the sub-projects funded by the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) and is dedicated to building relationships between human gut microbial genes and human health and disease.
Microbiological group milestone
In 2011, the Earth Microbiome Project was launched to analyze microbial communities in a comprehensive manner by performing metagenomic sequencing of typical environmental samples from around the world, including ecosystems such as soil, ocean, air, and freshwater. The diversity and its function. In marine microbiology research, Craig Venter, the science madman, can be said to have been at the forefront of the times, founded by the J. Craig Venter Institute as early as 2004. A genomic study on Sargassum was published in the year. Currently, his research team has collected thousands of samples of marine resources around the world.
In the top ten scientific breakthroughs in 2011, new breakthroughs in human microbiological research have also been evaluated. This should be the beginning of the microbial group's overall move toward “net redâ€. In the first half of 2013, US and British scientists predicted that there may be 10 major technological breakthroughs in the future. Among them, there are microbiome groups (prestigious scientists in the United States and Britain predict the next ten scientific breakthroughs), which indicates that the microbiology group has begun to tide. In the same year, Science published the top ten scientific breakthroughs in 2013, and the microbiome research ranked 10th, named – our microbes, our health!
On November 15-19, 2014, at the annual meeting of the American Society of Neurobiology, scientists also launched a forum called “Intestinal Microbes and Brain: A Paradigm Shift in Neuroscienceâ€, indicating that the basic theory of neuroscience is taking place. Based on changes in fundamental assumptions. At the same time, the theory of "brain-gut axis" was clearly put forward.
Short range distance sensors from JRT combine highly precise measurement results with quick and reliable response. Short distance sensor module use single-transmit and single-receive measurement technology and can be used to measure a distance or monitor the slow moving objects. For the laser pointer distance measure, also called optical range sensor, can measure legth, width, depth. Laser rangefinder transducer with rxtx has been widely used to industries.
