The team joining the project, leaded by Arcadi Navarro, has ample research experience in understanding the encoding of biological information in the sequence of the genomes (that is, of the complex relationship between genomes and phenotypes), and in studying the biological forces that contribute to shaping this encoding (disease, genome dynamics, natural selection and so on). The group strives to translate the understanding of the human genome sequence into knowledge about diseases. In addition the team co-manages (together with the EMBL-EBI) the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA, see http://ega.crg.eu) and thus has experience in assessment and prediction of genotype-phenotype relationships and in managing large-scale biological databases.
