📢New preprint out! 'Regulatory Features and Functional Specialization of Human Endogenous Retroviral LTRs: A Genome-Wide Annotation and Analysis via HERVarium' 🔬Our Functional Genomics Team sheds new light on the regulatory landscape of HERVs www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
5️⃣ The team behind the discovery This research was made possible thanks to the work of the Sequencing Unit at CNAG, led by Dr Marta Gut, together with the Genome Assembly and Annotation Team, led by Dr Tyler Alioto and including Dr Fernando Cruz and Jèssica Gómez #ICTS #ICTSNews #CNAG #OmicsTech
3️⃣ Thanks to the Anisakis genome... ▪️USC, with Dr Paulino Martínez, identified a panel of 500 genetic variants ▪️ IIM- @csic.es (Dr. Abollo and Pascual) analysed 2,000 specimens These efforts enabled the development of a low-cost molecular tool, making population surveillance studies more effective
2️⃣ The major contribution 🔬 To address this challenge, CNAG has assembled the most complete genome to date of 'Anisakis simplex', the species most widespread along the Spanish coastline 🎯 This new resource will improve parasite monitoring across both the fishing industry and the seafood supply chain
🌍 Within the IMPACT-CRC project, which aims to enable patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) to access more effective therapies, today we feature Prof. @hoheyn.bsky.social (CNAG). His research focuses on studying tumours one cell at a time to uncover how cancer and immune cells interact
