European scientists, led by researchers from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva (UNIGE) in the context of the GEUVADIS project, today present a map that points to the genetic causes of differences between people. The study, published in Nature and Nature Biotechnology, offers the...
Queralt Tolosa and Estel Palau are the two high school students who won the Barcelona Science Park Award during the 2013 edition of Exporecerca Jove. The prize consisted in a stay of two days at the CNAG, where they have visited all our...
Mònica Bayés, Programme Manager at the CNAG, participates in the largest genetic study carried out on psychiatric disorders. The study, published in Nature Genetics, analyses the five most common psychiatric disorders with greater impact at a personal and social level: schizophrenia, bipolar...
The researcher from the Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico (CNAG) and the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) Marc A. Marti-Renom has participated in a study that reveals the potential of rapid whole-genome sequencing in a hospital setting to reduce the time taken to diagnose extensively drug-...
A new study by an international team of researchers has, for the first time, sequenced the genomes of a large number of Great apes from across Africa and South-East Asia. The work, lead by Dr. Tomas Marques Bonet of the Institut de Biologia Evolutiva (IBE) of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and the...
- Researchers found out that the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans uses a different genetic code from all other organisms and were able to understand how this fungus changed its genetic code.   - With this new knowledge, the team was able to artificially modify for the first time the genetic code...
