The Centro de Investigación Agrogenómica (CRAG) is an independent organization established as a Consortium of four major research institutions: the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the Institute for Food and Agricultural Research and Technology (IRTA), the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and the University of Barcelona (UB).
This innovative agreement brings together diverse research groups on plants and farm animals, and provides a unique breeding ground for research and training, exploring the genetic and genomic determinants common to plants and animals. CRAG is dedicated to cutting-edge research on the molecular basis of genetic traits of interest in plants and farm animals, and applications of molecular approaches to the improvement of species important for agriculture and food production.
