          Table 3 shows the main authors that have published more than 50 foreign-language articles in the field of
        
        
          genomics from 1985 to 2016. Zhang Y. ranks the first with 149 published papers. The visualized co-authorship
        
        
          network map (Figure 3) shows that there are totally 190 authors and 130 items of collaboration among them,
        
        
          which indicates that the cooperation between the international researchers is stronger and closer than that in China.
        
        
          The scale of co-authorship networks is relatively large which are formed by Zhang Y., Wang J., Liu L., Li H.,
        
        
          Wang L., Wang Y., Lee S.H., Varshney R.K., Li J., Wang W., Zhang J., Li X., Liu Y., Li Y., Wang X., Wang Q.,
        
        
          Katze M.G., and Kumar S., etc, and the output of articles is the largest.
