The 2010 Malaspina Expedition is an interdisciplinary research project with the overall goals to assess the impact of global change on the oceans and explore their biodiversity. Led by Carlos Duarte from the CSIC, the expedition collected more than 2,000 samples of microorganisms from different...

A team led by Oregon Health & Science University has sequenced and annotated the genome of the only ape whose DNA had yet to be sequenced — the gibbon, an endangered small ape that inhabits the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Tomàs Marquès-Bonet, ICREA Research Professor and leader of the...

The RD-Connect project is funded by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme under the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) and is led by Hanns Lochmüller from the University of...

A team of scientists from around the world has completed the genome sequence of the common marmoset – the first sequence of a New World Monkey – providing new information about the marmoset’s unique rapid reproductive system, physiology and growth shedding new light on primate biology and evolution...

The CNAG will contribute to the French project that studies the biomolecular characterization of Leiomyosarcoma tumors, led by Frédéric Chibon at the Institute Bergonié in Bordeaux. With this new collaboration the CNAG consolidates as one of the European centers of reference on cancer genome...

Cancer is a disease of the genome. It starts with a change in the genome of an individual cell that allows that cell to divide and grow uncontrollably. The genomes is a string of chemical constituents like a text with 3 billion letters T, C, G and A. Each cell has a copy of the same genome. Changes...
