英国合成生物学路线图

摘要

英国高度重视发展合成生物学，并将合成生物学作为可能引领未来经济发展的4个新兴技术产业之一，不仅对合成生物学研究予以大力支持，也致力于促进合成生物学研究和技术的商业化。为谋求在合成生物学领域世界领先地位，英国商业、创新与技能部专门成立了英国合成生物学路线图协调组，开展路线图研究，制定并发布了英国合成生物学路线图研究报告。对英国最新发布的英国合成生物学路线图从发展合成生物学的重要意义、英国谋求引领未来合成生物学发展地位、路线图研究框架和制定过程、路线图涉及的主题及促进合成生物学发展的措施等5个方面进行了解析，以期为我国开展有关政策研究和确定发展重点提供参考。%Synthetic biology is one of the four priorities of emerging technologies and industries in the UK. UK has made a lot of investment on both scientific research of synthetic biology and its commercialization. Recently, the Department of Business, Innovation and Skill (BIS) set up a special group to draw up the roadmap of synthetic biology in the UK. In this paper, the main contents of the roadmap were introduced and analyzed from ifve aspects in order to contribute to the policy study and priorities selection of synthetic biology in China. The ifve aspects are as follows:the importance of developing synthetic biology;UK’s target of leading the global synthetic biology;research framework and making process of roadmap;themes concerning the roadmap;measures to prompt development of synthetic biology.
