CHINESE CLONING AND SEQUENCING FACTORY. “The scale of ambition is staggering. BGI is not only the world’s largest centre for cloning pigs – it’s also the world’s largest centre for gene sequencing… a comparison for scale: a UK project seeks to sequence 10,000 human genomes. BGI has ambitions to sequence the genomes of a million people, a million animals and a million plants. “A third category is if it looks cute: panda, polar bear, penguin, you should really sequence it – it’s like digitalizing all the wonderful species.””
