Beijing, China, March 6, 2007 -- Top ten domestic S&T events for 2006, selected by a number of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and major media agencies under the sponsorship of the Science and Technology Daily, were unveiled recently and Genetic chip and expression maps for domesticated silkworm ranked the first among the top ten. The Key Lab for Sericultural Science, a part of China Southwest University, and CapitalBio Corporation jointly developed the genetic chips and expression maps for domesticated silkworm. 22,000 genes of a silkworm cell were arrayed on a small biochip of the size of several square centimeters. Every gene of silkworm can be studied to identify the patterns of gene expression, the "on" or "off " conditions of the genes. This technology is instrumental in understanding the genetic make up of the silkworm and in potentially enhancing the quantity of silk production. This event heralds a major breakthrough in China´s sericultural research. It may eventually open up an innovative approach for domesticated silkworm breeding.

Beijing, China, February 8, 2007 – CapitalBio foodborne microbial genetic chip project, jointly developed by Beijing Entry-exit Inspection and Quarantine and CapitalBio Corporation, has passed expert appraisal organized by the Department of Science and Technology, General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People´s Republic of China (AQSIQ). The panel experts from Chinese Academy of Inspection and Quarantine, the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Fujian Entry-exit Inspection and Quarantine, Medical School of Peking University, China Agriculture University, Jiangsu Entry-exit Inspection and Quarantine and Beijing Centers for Diseases Prevention and Control evaluated the project earnestly.
