Author links open overlay panel, , AbstractTwenty years after the completion and forty years after the proposal of the Human Genome Project (HGP), genomics, together with its twin field – bioinformatics, has entered a new paradigm, where its bioscience-related, discipline-centric applications have been creating many new research frontiers. Beijing Institute of Genomics (BIG) and now also known as China National Center for Bioinformation (CNCB), will play key roles in supporting and participating in these frontier research activities. On the 20th anniversary of the establishment of BIG, we provide a brief retrospective of its historic events and ascertain strategic research directions with a broader vision for future genomics, where digital genome, digital medicine, and digital health are so structured to meet the needs of human life and healthcare, as well as their related metaverses.
