Tomorrow, Friday 8th October, is the last day of the meeting of the Virtual Physiological Human Network of Excellence (VPH NoE)’s second study group. This European Network of Excellence is coordinating a five-year series of activities on the development of the Virtual Human Being, with the aim of generating simulations of multi-scale models which reproduce the way the body works from the molecule to the organ.

A project executed by the research group on Evolutionary Genomics of GRIB (IMIM -UPF) employed comparison of the human genome with the genomes of other species of vertebrates to verify that the repetitive motifs found in human proteins are important for the good operation of the body and which could correspond to the fraction of the genome called ‘junk’ (with no function).
