The Human Blueprint

0000611APSELLWGBH正在制作一个两小时的Nova特别节目，将审查破译人类遗传密码全部30亿个字母的科学事业。该节目将带观众进入正在进行这一努力的实验室，并将检查由于我们对人类基因组的日益了解而产生的困难决定。《人类蓝图》的中心叙事主线是两个团队之间正在进行的非同寻常的竞赛，他们努力成为第一个读取人类基因组的人，或者说是人类基因组的“序列”。一方是官方的人类基因组计划，由联邦政府资助，由国家人类基因组研究所协调；另一方是私营企业，其形式是一家资金雄厚的公司，由一名生物学家经营，该公司长期致力于寻找更快、更便宜的方法来探测遗传密码的秘密。为了支持该系列的广泛使用，《人类蓝图》将出现在Nova教师指南中，并将成为Nova Online增强网站的主题。这些节目的执行制片人将是Nova的执行制片人Paula Apsell，该系列将由曾为WGBH、WNET和CBS新闻制作科学节目的伊丽莎白·阿莱奇制作。约瑟夫·莱文博士将担任《人类蓝图》的科学顾问，并将与制片人合作，规划程序研究，建议序列可能性，审查程序治疗，并在早期阶段对电影进行评论。莱文博士拥有哈佛大学生物学博士学位，曾担任WGBH系列节目《生命的秘密》的科学编辑。该系列的顾问包括：W.French Anderson，南加州大学医学院生物化学和儿科学教授兼基因治疗实验室主任David Baltimore，加州理工学院院长兼NIH艾滋病疫苗研究委员会主席Paul Berg，斯坦福大学Beckman分子和遗传研究中心主任Paul Berg，马萨诸塞州卫生研究院遗传资源创始人Robin Blatt，哈佛医学院和马萨诸塞州综合医院卫生政策研究所主任兼医学和保健政策教授David Blumenthal，国家癌症政策委员会主任Robert Cook-Deegan，国家癌症政策委员会主任康奈尔大学医学院基因治疗核心设施主任罗纳德·G·克里斯托霍华德大学微生物学教授兼国家人类基因组中心代理主任菲利普·R·赖利施莱弗精神障碍中心执行主任西北大学研究副校长兼神经学教授莉迪亚·维拉-科马罗夫

0000611APSELLWGBH is producing a two-hour NOVA special that will examine the scientific undertaking to decipher all three billion letters of the human genetic code. The program will take viewers inside the labs where this effort is going on and will examine the difficult decisions that are arising from our growing understanding of the human genome. The central narrative thread in "The Human Blueprint" is the extraordinary race now going on between two teams striving to be the first to read, or "sequence," the human genome. On one side is the official Human Genome Project, funded by the federal government and coordinated by the National Human Genome Research Institute; on the other side is private industry, in the form of a well-financed company run by a biologist with a long track record of finding quicker, cheaper ways to plumb the secrets of the genetic code. To support the extended use of the series, "The Human Blueprint" will be featured in the NOVA teachers guide and will be the subject of an enhanced Web sit at NOVA Online.The Executive Producer for the programs will be Paula Apsell, Executive Producer for NOVA, and the series will be produced by Elizabeth Arledge who has produced science programming for WGBH, WNET and CBS News. Dr. Joseph Levine will serve as science consultant to "The Human Blueprint" and will work with the producer to plan program research, suggest sequence possibilities, review program treatments and critique the film at early stages. Dr. Levine has a Ph.D. in Biology from Harvard University and served as the science editor for the WGBH series "The Secret of Life." Advisors to the series include: W. French Anderson, Professor of Biochemistry and Pediatrics and the Director of Gene Therapy Laboratories at the University of Southern California School of MedicineDavid Baltimore, President of the California Institute of Technology and Chairman of the NIH AIDS Vaccine Research Committee Paul Berg, Director of the Beckman Center for Molecular and Genetic Research at Stanford UniversityRobin Blatt, Founder of the Genetic Resource at the Massachusetts Health Research InstituteDavid Blumenthal, Director of the Institute for Health Policy and Professor of Medicine and Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General HospitalRobert Cook-Deegan, Director of the National Cancer Policy Board, Institute of Medicine and the Commission on Life Sciences of the National Academy of SciencesRonald G. Crystal, Director of the Gene Therapy Core facility at Cornell University Medical CollegeGeorgia M. Dunston, Professor of Microbiology and Acting Director of the National Human Genome Center at Howard UniversityPhilip R. Reilly, Executive Director of the Shriver Center for Mental RetardationLydia Villa-Komaroff, Vice President of Research and Professor of Neurology at Northwestern University
