BCN, 12 Sept 2018.- RD-Connect is an EU-funded integrated platform for rare disease research. It provides user-friendly tools for data analysis and links different data types - omics (e.g. genomics), clinical information, patient registries and biobanks - into a common resource. By enabling...

BCN, 18 July 2018.- Epigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene expression that don’t involve changes in the DNA sequence, is an extraordinarily active research field in biology nowadays. Epigenetic modifications integrate environmental and genetic information to give a certain phenotype (...

BCN, 16 July 2018.- Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico (CNAG-CRG) participated in a study on Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS), a heterogeneous disorder causing fatigable muscle weakness. Hanns Lochmüller, visiting scientist at the CNAG-CRG, and former coordinator of the EU...

Barcelona, 6th June 2018.- New research led by Holger Heyn at the CNAG-CRG, presents a sophisticated computational framework to analyze single-cell gene expression levels, scalable to process millions of individual cells. The work, published in the current issue of the scientific journal...

Barcelona, 5th June 2018.- In recent years it has become evident that the spatial organisation of the genome is key for its function. This organisation depends on a number of factors, the cohesin protein complex being one of them. This essential complex is present in the cells in two versions that...

Barcelona, 9th May 2018 - The CNAG-CRG is one of the top European genome analysis centers. Its mission is to carry out projects in DNA sequence analysis for the improvement of quality of life in collaboration with the European and International Research Community. To keep up with this objective,...
