To meet the needs of a new generation of biological and biomedical researchers as they enter the era of “big-data,” GigaScience is co-published in collaboration between BGI Shenzhen and BioMed Central. BGI (formerly known as Beijing Genomics Institute) was founded in 1999 and has since become the largest genomic organization in the world.

GigaScience has developed a novel publishing format that integrates manuscript publication with a database that will provide DOI assignment to every dataset. All supporting data and source code will be available in a suitable public repository and/or under a public domain Creative Commons CCO license in the BGI GigaScience database.
