BGI is one of the 50 most innovative companies of 2014, according to FastCompany's annual roundup of businesses to watch.
Coming in at number 37 in a list that includes Google, Amazon, Tesla Motors, Github, and Nike, BGI was selected for "making DNA sequencing mass-market." Fast Company writes.
"By investing in more cutting-edge genome-sequencing hardware and training more analysts to make sense of reams of data output than any research institution or university in the world, BGI has turned itself into a go-to destination for global scientists seeking collaboration on ambitious projects to unlock the mysteries of plant, animal, and human DNA," it adds.
