BCN, 3 September, 2020.- The Mediterranean Sea is not only recognized as a hotspot of biodiversity but also as a hotspot of climate change since its basin is warming faster than other ocean regions. In the past few decades, large scale mass mortality events linked to marine heat waves have been...

BCN, 27 July 2020.- Researchers from Harvard university, the CNAG-CRG and the CRG, describe the first technology able to visualize hundreds to potentially thousands of genes at the same time under the microscope. The tech images genomes more cheaply, more quickly and increases range of visibility...

BCN, 22 July 2020.- Certain neurological disorders, such as Dravet's syndrome, are complex to treat because they exhibit high rates of drug resistance and have a high variability among patients. To find the most effective treatment, it is often necessary to try different combinations of drugs with...

BCN, 3 June 2020.- A team of scientists led by Isabel Almudí and Fernando Casares from the Andalusian Center for Development Biology, CABD (CSIC – UPO and the Junta de Andalucía), has concluded that the gills of certain aquatic insects are the organ that shares the greatest number of genes with the...

BCN, 29 May 2020.- The way in which chromosomes occupy a 3-D space is crucial for regulating genome function and processes essential for life, such as DNA replication, transcription and DNA-damage repair.   In the past few years, technological advances have revealed much about how genomes organize...

BCN, 27 May 2020.- The frequency of genetic variants associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has decreased progressively in the evolutionary human lineage from the Palaeolithic to nowadays, according to a study published in the journal...
