Press release from CRG last July 19, 2010
Taking advantage of the fact that the best geneticists and bioinformaticians in the world are visiting Barcelona, the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and the International Center for Scientific Debate (ICSD) –driven by Biocat and “la Caixa” Foundation– will hold a public symposium to present the latest results of the project and pose the challenges for the future of the ENCODE project.
“Ten years after the human genome sequence, the ENCODE project seeks to understand this sequence” explains Roderic Guigó, researcher at the CRG and member of the ENCODE consortium. “We are on the right path, we have gone from studying fragments to daring to look at the genome as a whole,” he explains.
The CRG and the ICSD welcomed the top representatives of the ENCODE consortium for their first meeting outside the United States Centre. ENCODE is one of the National Human Genome Research Institute’s most important projects, which aims to identify the functional elements of the human genome sequence and has just celebrated its tenth anniversary.
