HAIKOU, CHINA, January 28, 2021--MGI’s "mobile nucleic acid testing and gene sequencing" platform starts operation in Haikou, Hainan province. The two laboratories, namely the Container Sequencing Lab, can be used either separately or together. It can provide large-scale nucleic acid testing for Haikou, but also help to decode whole genome sequence of the coronavirus, contributing to the local pandemic control during the Chinese spring festival. There is a higher probability of mutations...

In response to the ruling of the Patents Court within the High Court of Justice for England & Wales on 20 January 2021, MGI makes the following statement: We concur with the court's ruling that Illumina’s European Patent (EP) 1 828 412 to methods of sequencing by synthesis using ascorbic acid is invalid for obviousness and that MGI’s CoolMPS sequencing method does NOT infringe this patent, and also the finding that MGI’s CoolMPS sequencing does NOT infringe the EP 2 021 415 to a linker...
