理解地球生物多樣性的意義，遠不止於科學探索——它更能指引我們以永續的方式最大化利用自然資源。被譽為「生物學界登月計劃」的「地球生物基因組計劃」(EarthBioGenome Project)，旨在對地球上所有真核生物（包括動物、真菌和植物）的基因組進行測序、編目與分析。揭示全球各地動植物及真菌的基因組，將為解決人類社會當前面臨的諸多挑戰奠定知識基礎。這些效益涵蓋多個層面：從理解生物多樣性在氣候變遷下的演變、瀕危物種保育、生態系統服務的維繫，到發掘潛藏的生物學知識以推動新技術發明與發展。 香港中文大學生命科學學院許浩霖教授將於是次講座中，介紹香港團隊為「地球生物基因組計劃」取得的成果與當前進展。 Understanding the biodiversity on Earth is more than just scientific interests, as it can also inform how to maximise the utilisation of its resources in a sustainable way. The EarthBioGenome Project, which has been described as a moonshot project for biology, aims to sequence, catalogue, and analyse the genomes of all eukaryotes on Earth, including animals, fungi, and plants. The benefits of revealing the genomes of all animals, fungi, and plants in different parts in the world will form an informative base to solve many current issues in the human society. Such benefits could range from increasing the understanding of how biodiversity is evolving under climate change, conservation of endangered species, provision of ecosystem services, to discovering of hidden biological knowledge for new technological inventions and development. In this special lecture, Professor Jerome Hui at CUHK School of Life Sciences, will introduce what they have achieved and are now doing for the EarthBioGenome Project Hong Kong.
