      The article reports that the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI ) launches its cloud computing networks which can help the institute in dominating in field of bioinformatics. According to Cliff Reid of Complete Genomics, the services offered by BGI provide research laboratories a solution for their lack of storage, computing power, and technical know-how. It also mentions that BGI's combination of DNA sequencing and inhouse cloud computing makes it a one stop shop.
