          1.2.2 Co-institution network analysis
        
        
          The paper analyzed the research institutes of the first authors in studied articles in China and here are the top 10
        
        
          research institutes (Table 4). Institute of Crop Science of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences published the
        
        
          most articles in China. The visualized institute collaboration network map (Figure 4) shows that there are totally
        
        
          153 institutes and 9 items of collaboration among them (1 Year Per Slice, Select top 10 from each slice), compared
        
        
          with 106 institutes and 59 items (Figure 5) respectively at abroad (1 Year Per Slice, Select top 10 from each slice),
        
        
          which indicates that the cooperation at abroad is much stronger and the number of programs is far more than that
        
        
          at home. There are 6 American institutes in the top 10 list of foreign institutes (Table 5) and all of them are
        
        
          universities, which shows that a core institution with considerable scale has formed in America. Chinese Academy
        
        
          of Sciences, the main research institution of genomics in China, ranks the second on the list.
