China to build Confucius later DNA database

Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Genome Institute experts recently said that they are willing to help the descendants of Confucius "quasi" verify DNA in order to provide them in Confucius's fifth largest genealogy update into a sequence of "Orthodox" evidence.

The Kong family tree "60 years for a major overhaul, thirty years a small repair of." In 1996, starting at the fifth major revision is mainly composed of Shandong Qufu genealogy initiates spectrum associations, this is the largest in the history of the Kong family tree big changes.

"This amendment workload, while there are a number of factors in addition to the workload of the conditioned by this genealogy. "Host of kongdecheng indicated that some believe is the offspring of Confucius as the absence of evidence to determine whether they can enter the family tree.

"Some people are able to take out the Kong branches to genealogy, family tree, and the Confucian family of spectrum", so that these people are lucky. "Kongdecheng said:" some people think in spectrum refutes the idea, but you can't say he belong to which spectrum, and even the seniority in the know, this work has resulted in the spectrum of great trouble. Most headaches are those that are neither branch of spectrum without seniority in the family, even the generation times are not aware of future generations. ”

Recently, the United Kingdom is determined by DNA scientists 48-year-old firm United States person Tom · Robinson is a descendant of Genghis Khan, to want to tattooed "quasi" Confucius descent to inspire some hope to get scientists help.

Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Genome Institute judicial evidence identification Center Director Dengyajun told reporters that they were willing to help prospective validation of the descendants of Confucius, Confucius DNA and DNA analysis database, descendants of the hole last name posterity "only needs to provide a hair" will know whether to Confucius later. "DNA testing accuracy Minolta 99.99%. "Dengyajun said. Dengyajun said, the first step is to establish a DNA analysis database: first of all to find a few immediate descendants of Confucius, to their DNA analysis and the creation of a database. There is a hole in the future if we want to acknowledge ancestral surname later, as long as his DNA was the genetic information and database information to do about contrast, you can quickly get answers.

According to introduction, being detected dengyajun users only need to provide some organization with human cells, such as blood, oral test child (buccal cells), and even a hair of detection equipment may one day read out the respondents ' genetic information.

In accordance with the envisaged if dengyajun can successfully establish a descendant of the DNA database of Confucius, Confucius later admitted Cho will be very simple. At present, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Genome Institute judicial evidence identification Center has begun preparations for Confucius later "certificate of acceptance of ancestry DNA."
