Centre de Regulació Genòmica (CRG)
Hola! We are the CRG, a research institute exploring the frontiers of biology in Barcelona. Som un centre CERCA. www.crg.eu
- Orikine Bio, nacida en 2022 como spin-off del CRG, avanza en el desarrollo preclínico de sus fármacos para enfermedades autoinmunes y capta nuevos fondos de la entidad pública dependiente del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación
- Some of the most transformative companies began as a research insight that refused to stay inside a lab. That is why we created the CRG BioBusiness School, for life-science researchers who want to translate scientific results into tangible value. Apply by 1 March: www.crg.eu/en/event/crg...

- Mafalda Dias, investigadora CRG, cree que el modelo es “un paso adelante" muy importante, pero: “son buenos para comprender qué pasa con la biología regulatoria, pero no son útiles para predecir si una variante entre personas distintas va a tener un impacto; tienen una utilidad clínica limitada."
- We have opened several exciting new positions across our research and administration. If you’re looking to grow your career and enjoy life by the Mediterranean, apply now: recruitment.crg.eu/content/jobs...
- Investment in biotech saw a 60% boost last year, according to a joint analysis by Expansión and Biocat. Two CRG startups (Orikine and Seqera) are amongst the top twenty leading funding rounds last year. They are testimony of how publicly funded science can turn into real-world innovation.
- We are deeply saddened by the passing of Peer Bork, who was a member of the CRG’s Scientific Advisory Board between Jan 2010 and Dec 2017. He played a key role in helping shape the institute’s scientific strategy. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at @embl.org
- Conocer la variabilidad genética de todo el mundo acaba beneficiando a todo el mundo. Lo cuenta Michele Catanzaro en El Periódico después de que un estudio coliderado por @rodericguigo.bsky.social descubrió y cuantificó las lagunas en los mapas genéticos.
- Una buena noticia para empezar el año 😊 El trabajo liderado por @larsplus.bsky.social, investigador del CRG, ha sido reconocido por la Asociación Española contra el Cáncer como uno de los avances de investigación más destacados de 2025.
- Reposted by Centre de Regulació Genòmica (CRG)What tools do we need to start engineering #aging and #longevity ? A🧵about something we've been cooking up in lab with Jeremy Vicencio at the @crg.eu : technology that lets us reach inside living animals and precisely dial multiple proteins' levels up and down. 1/10
- Hem estat seleccionats com a entitat beneficiària dels Projectes Singulars del Departament de Recerca i Universitats. Gràcies a aquest suport, desenvoluparem una infraestructura integral de microscòpia orientada a l’estudi avançat de mostres biològiques. #FEDERrecerca #FonsUEcat
- The registration deadline for our course which integrates laboratory practice with computational training is approaching fast. You have until 15 December to sign up! courses.crg.eu/events/decod...
- Big congrats to Sara Sdelci @sdelcilab.bsky.social for being as one of the 2025 @embo.org Young Investigators (YIPs), joining 28 outstanding early-career scientists recognised for excellence and originality in the life sciences. She is the eighth CRG scientist to join the prestigious programme!
- Human gene maps contain major blind spots that leaves out a vast majority of the world's biological diversity, according to a new study led by the CRG's @rodericguigo.bsky.social with @bsc-cns.bsky.social. The researchers uncovered tens of thousands of new transcripts and entirely new genes.
- "Alucino cómo es posible que el orden de cuatro compuestos químicos esté determinando cómo se organiza un organismo, cómo se organiza el funcionamiento de las células, cómo cambian cuando se alteran en la enfermedad, cómo se organiza el cerebro para producir pensamientos. Todo, absolutamente todo."
- Transcription start sites are new mutational hotspots, according to a new study by the CRG's Donate Weghorn in Nature Communications. The mutations can be passed down to future generations and appear shortly after conception, in the first few rounds of cell division.
- Our annual PhD call is closing at the end of this week on 30 November. If you're interested in carrying out world-class scientific research in Barcelona, you still have a few days left to submit your application! www.crg.eu/en/content/t...
- In today's @financialtimes.com: our researcher's efforts to use the diversity of life on Earth to see which parts of every one of the roughly 20,000 human proteins are essential for life and which can tolerate change, with the aim of supporting how doctors diagnose genetic disease.
- Introducing popEVE, an AI model which can support diagnosing diseases "as rare as one". It was created by a team from the CRG and @harvardmed.bsky.social using data from hundreds of thousands of different species and of genetic variation across the human population. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- CRG researchers reveal how the coral Oculina patagonica resists marine heatwaves by switching between two feeding modes: drawing energy from algae when it can, and feeding for itself when it can’t. A glimpse of how life adapts in the warming waters of the Mediterranean 🌊 www.crg.eu/en/news/dual...
- Reposted by Centre de Regulació Genòmica (CRG)We are happy to share our latest work in @nature.com . We study the genomic and cellular basis of facultative symbiosis in Oculina patagonica - a Mediterranean coral remarkable for its ability to survive long periods without algal symbionts.

- Today in @quantamagazine.bsky.social, our researchers @arnausebe.bsky.social and @ianakim.bsky.social are interviewed in this in-depth piece about the origins of long distance genome regulation. Very on-brand topic for the CRG! By @philipcball.bsky.social
- I adored writing this piece. It brings together several of the things preoccupying me right now, like chromatin organization and gene regulation. There's so much more to be said on that. Also, these marine critters look gorgeous. www.quantamagazine.org/loops-of-dna...

- 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...
- The first, co-authored by @bernardo-rodriguez.bsky.social, discovered more than 167,000 structural variants across the 1,019 individuals, doubling the known amount of structural variation in the human pangenome. Most variants were rare, which will help accelerate the diagnosis of rare diseases.
