Figure 10 The main burst keywords in foreign-language articles
From 1985 to the beginning of 21st century, there were burst keywords like pharmacy company, biotechnology,
combinatorial chemistry, human genome, and life sciences (Figure 8; Figure 10). New technologies like genomics,
combinatorial chemistry and the following highly efficient screening of drugs have transformed biotechnological
research and pharmacy industries. At the same time, Human Genome Project was launched by National Human
Genome Research Institute of USA in 1990, aiming to uncover the secrets of 3 billion base pairs that constitute all
the genes of human body. In 1998, Human Genome Center in Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology
was established in Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the same year, National Human Genome Center, Beijing and
National Human Genome Center at Shanghai were established. The next year, Human Genome Center was
registered internationally and completed the task of sequencing about 30Mb region from human chromosome
