- The jaguar, the largest cat species native to the Americas, now has a chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation, with 99.85% of the sequence assigned to chromosomes and 25,267 protein coding genes.   - This high-quality genome will contribute to conservation efforts for this species,...

- A new study, published in Science Advances, reveals that the three-dimensional (3D) architecture of the genome actively contributes to tissue regeneration following injury.   - The research has been led by the Faculty of Biology and the Institute of Biomedicine of the University of Barcelona...

- The 3D spatial transcriptomics platform Pyxa from Stellaromics uses a technology that is unique worldwide to analyse gene activity within its three-dimensional context, placing Spain at the forefront of international genomics research.   - The innovative technology will provide a much more...

- The new method reveals a hidden layer of cancer biology: the metabolic strategies of its cells, which may drive tumour growth, immune evasion or disease progression depending on where they are located within the tissue.   - The first metabolic maps identify tumour regions, or niches, that...

- Published in the Journal of Biomedical Semantics, ClarID is an identifier specification designed to make subject and biosample identifiers easier to interpret in biomedical research workflows.   - Developed by the CNAG, ClarID provides structured, human-readable identifiers that encode...
