Despite ground-breaking developments in both DNA barcoding and full genome sequencing, there remains a critical need to develop and strengthen functioning communities of practice at multiple scales that translate into building capacity, boosting complementarity among activities in individual...

Cancer is increasingly prevalent in society and the efforts of the research community, doctors and administrations to find solutions to this disease are huge. However, it cannot be treated in a uniform way, as there are more than 200 types of cancer. In addition, the disease in each patient is...

A plethora of experimental and computational methods have flourished since the advent of Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) in 2002, which allow now a wide-spread use of technologies to study genome organization in space and time (the so-called 4DNucleome). The CNAG-CRG's Structural Genomics...

Screen4Care will use a multi-pronged strategy to shorten the time to diagnosis and treatment for patients with rare diseases: - Genetic newborn screening: The project will drive newborn screening (using genetic testing and related advanced genomic technologies), which is anticipated to be an...

The goal of the CGI is to develop, implement, and disseminate imaging, analysis, and modeling technologies that will elucidate how genomes, in their entirety, are organized and function in three dimensions (3D). The project aims to: - Develop strategies to massively scale imaging methods.   -...

The project aims to perform a comprehensive analysis of how tissues including the nasal mucosa, lung, gut and kidney are susceptible to infection. Holger Heyn, leader of the Single Cell Genomics team at the CNAG-CRG, will carry out single-cell resolved characterization of different cell populations...
