National Center for Genomic Analysis
(CNAG-CRG)

Created in 2009, the CNAG-CRG carries out projects in DNA sequencing and analysis in collaboration with researchers from Catalonia, Spain and from the international research community in order to ensure the competitiveness of our country in the strategic area of genomics.

After starting operations in March 2010 CNAG-CRG has positioned itself as one of the largest European centres in terms of sequencing capacity. The highly qualified staff, combined with an outstanding computing infrastructure makes CNAG-CRG a centre of excellence in data analysis. It takes part in genome sequencing and analysis projects in areas as diverse as cancer genetics, rare disorders, host-pathogen interactions, the preservation of endangered species, evolutionary studies and the improvement of species of agricultural interest.

The CNAG-CRG is a non-profit organisation funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness and the Catalan Government through the Economy and Knowledge Department and the Health Department.
