BGI, China’s largest genomics sequencing company, signed an agreement with Huawei Technology, a Shenzhen networking and telecom equipment maker, to develop big data storage systems for genomic research. The companies set a goal of achieving at least a 30% improvement in the overall efficiency of genome sequencing research tasks. BGI and Huawei will work together to design the big data storage systems to minimize duplicating each other’s work. In 2014, Huawei and Imperial College London set up a big data collaboration with a focus on healthcare.
