CNAG – The Institute
The Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico (CNAG) is one of the largest Genome Sequencing Centers in Europe. The CNAG carries out projects in DNA/RNA analysis for the improvement of quality of life in collaboration with the Spanish, European and International Research Community. CNAG researchers participate in major International Genome Initiatives such as the Human Cell Atlas (HCA), the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), the International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC), the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC), the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) and the European Infrastructure for life-science information (ELIXIR), as well as in many EU-funded projects.
CNAG occupies approximately 1,500 m2 of laboratory and office space and operates 4 Illumina instruments (3 NovaSeq6000 and 1 MiSeq) and 2 large Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencers (1 PromethION 24 and 1 GridION) that produce more than 7 Tbases of sequencing data per day. The sequencing operation is supported by an extensive informatics infrastructure: 15 petabyte of data storage, 10,000 computing cores and an internal 56 Gb/s network. The operation is certified ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and accredited ISO 17025 and serves to deliver standardized, high-quality data for research and clinics. CNAG is involved in projects ranging from cancer to rare diseases and immune-mediated diseases. For this, a sophisticated pipeline for data production, data analysis and data management are in place. CNAG also has a highly developed single-cell operation equipped with a 10x Chromium X, 10x Chromium Connect, MissionBio Tapestri for individual cell analyses and for tissue analysis a Nanostring CosMx, 10x Genomics Visium, 10x Genomics Xenium and Stereo-seq.
Another specialty of CNAG is the analysis of single molecules.
CNAG has a team of 120 highly-talented professionals from 23 countries, including nine research groups and two large technology development/implementation units supported by a flexible and efficient administration.
