摘要

非洲生物基因组计划(AfricaBP)是一项泛非倡议,旨在通过基因组学改善粮食系统和生物多样性保护,同时确保公平的数据共享和利益。开放研究所是AfricaBP的知识交流平台,旨在弥合当地在生物多样性基因组学和生物信息学方面的知识差距,并促进基础设施的发展。2024年,AfricaBP开放研究所推进了这一任务,组织了31次研讨会,吸引了50个非洲国家的3500多名注册与会者,在非洲所有五个地理区域,涉及40个非洲和非非洲组织,为401名非洲研究人员提供了基因组学、生物信息学、分子生物学、样本收集和生物银行以及伦理考虑方面的培训。这些讲习班提供了关于生物多样性基因组学和生物信息学在非洲生物经济中的应用的见解,以及样品收集和处理、基因组学、生物信息学、分子生物学和基因编辑方面的实践培训。在这里,我们通过综合综述和介绍,提供了生物多样性基因组学和生物信息学在非洲生物经济中的应用的当前理解,包括对由非洲和国际机构以及行业伙伴合作的AfricaBP开放研究所组织的31个研讨会以及提供或启动的三个奖学金项目的描述。我们回顾了非洲目前的国家生物经济战略,以及非洲本地基因组测序的经济影响,并以拟议的1000摩洛哥基因组计划为例进行了说明。主要建议包括将生物多样性基因组学和生物信息学纳入国家生物经济战略,利用基因组学促进可持续的生物经济增长,以及在整个非洲扩大能力建设倡议。

Unlocking the African bioeconomy and strengthening biodiversity conservation through genomics and bioinformatics.

Unlocking the African bioeconomy and strengthening biodiversity conservation through genomics and bioinformatics.

The African BioGenome Project (AfricaBP) is a Pan-African initiative aimed at improving food systems and biodiversity conservation through genomics while ensuring equitable data sharing and benefits. The Open Institute is the knowledge exchange platform of the AfricaBP, which aims to bridge local knowledge gaps in biodiversity genomics and bioinformatics and enable infrastructural developments. In 2024, the AfricaBP Open Institute advanced this mission by organizing 31 workshops that attracted more than 3500 registered attendees across 50 African countries, provided training to 401 African researchers in genomics, bioinformatics, molecular biology, sample collections and biobanking, and ethical considerations, across all five African geographical regions involving 40 African and non-African organizations. These workshops provide insights on applications of biodiversity genomics and bioinformatics to the African bioeconomy, as well as hands-on training in sample collection and processing, genomics, bioinformatics, molecular biology, and gene editing. Here, we provide the current understanding of the applications of biodiversity genomics and bioinformatics to the African bioeconomy through synthetic reviews and presentations, including descriptions of 31 workshops organized as well as three fellowship programs delivered or launched by the AfricaBP Open Institute in collaboration with African and international institutions and industry partners. We review the current national bioeconomy strategies across Africa and the economic impact of sequencing African genomes locally, illustrated by a case study on the proposed 1000 Moroccan Genome Project. Key recommendations include integrating biodiversity genomics and bioinformatics into national bioeconomy strategies, leveraging genomics for sustainable bioeconomy growth, and expanding capacity-building initiatives across Africa.
