Redefining the “Possible” of Genomics

Recognized as one of the world’s largest and most productive bioinformatics research facilities, we don’t just use sequencing technologies, our scientific teams create them. Some of these technologies were once considered impossible, but were made possible by the expertise gained by BGI in working with the world’s largest genomics pipeline—capable of sequencing 30,000 human genomes a year. At BGI’s Bioinformatics Center, there are over 1000 scientists focused on data processing and management, bioinformatics analysis and computational tools development, supporting large-scale DNA sequencing by maximizing the utility of huge genome data. The Center includes multiple supercomputing platforms with a total of 157 TFlops peak floating-point computing capability, 33 Tb RAM, and 12.6 PB storage.
