Its founding members include the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking University, the Chinese Academy of Science, and the Beijing Institute of Medical Sciences. The affililated institute, Chinese National Human Genome Center of Beijing (CHGB) was established in October 1998 at SinoGenoMax.
SinoGenoMax participated in the International Human Genome Sequencing Project, and has been closely involved in several major genome-related research projects such as pathogenic microorganism sequencing projects, Chinese population single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping project, and other disease genome research projects.
Originally focused on DNA sequencing and analysis, SinoGenoMax has subsequently expanded its expertise in all aspects of molecular biology and protein biology. SinoGenoMax has built up several independent technical groups including genomics group, proteomics group, and molecular biology group.
