🚀 We’re excited to share our latest publication in collaboration with Verena Ruprecht's group at @crg.eu Mechanobiology meets Nuclear Metabolism www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. www.livescience.com/health/genet...

🔴 El mayor atlas de la diversidad humana: 11 millones de letras del genoma hacen que cada persona sea única

🔴 Los avances en la tecnología nos han permitido llegar hasta casi el 100% de la lectura del genoma humano, según un estudio liderado por la Universidad de Düsseldorf (@hhu.de), el @embl.org y el Centro de Regulación Genómica (@crg.eu) de Barcelona 🎙️ Marga Esparza 📍@rtvecatalunya.bsky.social

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. Two studies in @nature.com resequenced data from the landmark 1000 Genomes Project with long-read tech, creating what may be the most complete overview of the human genome to date. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🗣️ «Ver crecer y desarrollarse a las personas que están haciendo el doctorado es una de las cosas más bonitas de mi trabajo», nos explica Anna Solé Amat, coordinadora académica del @crg.eu , en la serie de entrevistas #CareerMonth. Lee la entrevista completa aquí 👇

Happy to be the next (and 1st female) @crg.eu director. The CRG always stood out to me, for its excellence in understanding life's principles, with implications for health and biodiversity, & its collaborative, open and innovative way of doing science. Thrilled to join its amazing community in 2026!

Exciting news: our Board of Trustees has appointed @monicabettencourt.bsky.social as the CRG's new Director. Prof Bettencourt-Dias is expected to take up the post in 2026, replacing Dr. Luis Serrano, who will continue to maintain a research group at the institute. www.crg.eu/en/news/moni...

The herpes virus that causes cold sores starts reshaping our genome within an hour of infecting cells - targeting this process could help treat severe cases, or even lead to treatments against other viruses. Read @newscientist.com. www.newscientist.com/article/2484...

Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the host’s cellular machinery to make new copies of themselves. Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), it turns out, also redecorates the human genome.

New research has mapped the first step in how a key Alzheimer’s protein begins to clump together, leading to clues about future therapies 🧠 Check out our full story here 👇 bit.ly/3FRVAJA
