BGI Group is one of the world’s leading biotechnology organizations with operations covering research, production & applications in 100+ countries and regions.
Researchers from Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University, BGI-Research and collaborators report in Science a multimodal spatiotemporal atlas of how disseminated liver cancer cells colonize the lung. Using Stereo-seq with single-cell multiomics, the study maps rare early metastatic cells and identifies transient immune-evasion mechanisms that may inform future anti-metastasis strategies. https://t.co/WAVJ5NDw9r
The passing of Japanese mystery novelist Keigo Higashino from colon cancer is sad news and a reminder of the continuing global burden of colorectal cancer. Early detection matters. Non-invasive genomic screening can help identify colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous changes earlier. https://t.co/4vMCfJkRg3
BGI College and Dalian University of Technology have opened the 2026 DUT-BGI International Summer School at the BGI Center in Shenzhen. This year’s program brings together 30 students and scholars from 10 countries for a week of learning and exchange on genomics, intelligent bioengineering, active health, and international research collaboration. https://t.co/OOqRNOXnfU
BGI-Research and collaborators at Shanxi Medical University reported a single-cell multi-omics atlas of the human nasal mucosa, profiling over one million cells to compare allergic rhinitis and non-allergic rhinitis. The study highlights epithelial–stromal communication as a key axis in allergic rhinitis and demonstrates the value of single-cell multi-omics for understanding complex inflammatory disease. https://t.co/KafNUx4YF0
The eyes can reveal more than vision. BGI Group has launched a multimodal eye imaging platform designed to support whole-body health screening through non-invasive, AI-powered analysis of ocular data. By integrating external eye imaging, fundus photography, OCT/OCTA, eye-tracking, and biometric measurement, the platform helps identify health risk signals related to eye disease, cardiovascular health, metabolic conditions, and neurological status. https://t.co/6PqrKbSFR3
BGI-Research and collaborators have published a single-cell multi-omics atlas of human immune aging. The study links gene expression, transcript isoforms, and immune receptor repertoires across approximately 104,000 immune cells, revealing hidden regulatory layers of immunosenescence. https://t.co/dYutMh1smb

Khadija Salka, a doctor of veterinary medicine from Indonesia and participant in the "Applicable Smart Medical Technology" program hosted by BGI College, found BGI's secret rooftop retreat for lab‑weary scientists.
Malaysian genetic pathologist Dr. Eva, here for the BGI College-hosted “Applicable Smart Medical Technology” program, spotted that BGI Center's garden plants are all about agricultural genomics - while the signs map out global collaboration ties. Two stories, one garden. Ready to look closer?
Between mountains and sea, a story of life unfolds. Through the images, we move from moonlit coastlines to quiet labs, from growing fields to glowing data, from human hands to future imaginings. This is the beauty of BGI - where science listens to nature, and discovery reaches toward tomorrow.
New research involving BGI reports that the human-derived probiotic strain Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BGI-L99 improved reproductive, metabolic, and behavioral features of PCOS in a preclinical mouse model. The study links BGI-L99 to restoration of a gut–ovary signaling pathway involving bile acids, TGR5, and IL-22, supporting further exploration of strain-specific microbiome interventions for women’s reproductive health. https://t.co/bqQo8PQdIw
BGI Group is presenting life science innovation across the value chain at the 4th China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing, June 22–26. Its showcase spans preventive health management, precision medicine, gut health, agriculture, pet care, and laboratory innovation, reflecting BGI’s continued focus on applying omics technologies to real-world needs.

Featured as cover story, BGI-Research, together with collaborators at the Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Liaoning Normal University, reports in Science the first comprehensive 3D single-cell spatial atlas of a jawless vertebrate brain. The study offers new insight into the ancestral blueprint of vertebrate brain evolution. https://t.co/KaR1Wm8tCF
BGI-Research and Zhejiang Lab have released two new models built on the Genos genomic foundation model: Genos-Mutation and Genos-Reg. These tools are designed to help researchers study how DNA mutations and cell states shape gene expression, supporting more efficient interpretation of genomic variation and regulation. Available through the BGI DCS Cloud platform. https://t.co/Tn6jXULZof
BGI-Research, with Peking Union Medical College Hospital and collaborators, has published a study in Nature Genetics presenting the most comprehensive genomic atlas of the human vaginal microbiome to date. The GVMG catalog includes 65,055 microbial genomes from 13,632 samples, expanding understanding of vaginal microbiome diversity and its links to host genetics. https://t.co/5U9J7nDiUt
In the 2026 Nature Index rankings, BGI has been recognized as the world’s top-ranked corporate institution in biological sciences, as well as the top-ranked institution in the Asia-Pacific region. This also marks the eleventh consecutive year that BGI has held the top position among corporate institutions in biological sciences in the Asia-Pacific region.
