**Guest speaker:  
 *Xin Jin***  
 Senior Research Scientist at BGI

Xin Jin joined BGI in 2009. He has involved and been leading several important scientific research projects, including the Sino-Danish Diabetes Project (LUCAMP), building the human pan-genome project, high altitude adaptation project and Autism Genome 10K project. Now Xin is senior research scientist at BGI. He and his team mainly focus on sequencing based researches including complex disease, mendelian disorder and population genetics.
