After learning that the international genetic Program was launched, Wang Jian, chairman of the board of directors (www.dna-china.org) and President of BGI, was imagining and moving closer to the relationship between himself and gene sequencing. But at that time, he might not have imagined that he would have an empire.
BGI has the confidence to speak like this. During the anti-SARS study in 2003, BGI completed targeted whole genome sequencing analysis, protein analysis, detection kit development, anti-SARS drug screening and other systematic research work within just four days.
An important prerequisite for technical checks on transgenic products is to establish technical standards for the identification of such products. More than 10 years ago, due to lack of relevant detection and identification technologies, transgenic products in the United States, Canada, Argentina and other countries
With the popularization of the second generation of sequencing technology, single-cell sequencing has ushered in rapid development. The development of sequencing technology makes gene sequencing a general trend for civilian use. Personal DNA sequencing consulting service is an example. Xu Xin, a researcher at the University of Louisville, believes that health assessment based on personal genome DNA information has a potential market for gene sequencing development. Beginning in the 1990s S, human gene sequencing evolved from the first generation of capillary gene analysis to the second generation of high-throughput chemistry-based sequencing, then, the recently emerging revolutionary sequencing technology based on semiconductor chip technology.
