Come to the SME Bioinformatics Forum in Barcelona the 8-9 October 2012
The workshop, organized by the GRIB jointly with EMBL, INB and Biocat, will introduce bioinformatics tools and data resources and will present the opportunities for SMEs to use and integrate these resources in order to derive business benefit from the existing and developing infrastructure. The topics of the workshop have been specifically selected on the basis of previous interactions with SMEs, priorities specified by SMEs as part of a recent user survey and discussions with a regional focus group. The data resources and services include genomic, proteomics and chemical resources, molecular interactions, integration services and EBI search, web services, etc.. There will also be an opportunity to hear from several companies based in the region and for some hands-on tutorials. Click here to get more information about this event Click here to register

GRIB participates at BIO Boston 2012, the top biotechnology convention in the world
Connect, partner and innovate. This is the slogan for the twentieth edition of the BIO International Convention, held 18 to 21 June 2012 in the city of Boston (Massachusetts, United States). BIO is the most important international business meeting in the biotechnology arena. This year, it will bring together more than 15,000 delegates from 65 countries, more than 900 exhibitors and 1,800 companies. In addition to the exhibition area, it also features a Business Forum for partnering meetings, which in 2011 generated more than 21,000 one-to-one meetings. The GRIB (IMIM-UPF) takes part of the Catalan delegation made up of 50 companies and 22 organizations from the biotechnology and biomedicine sector. At the 2012 edition, Spain will have the most important international pavilion, with Catalonia making up more than 60%, ahead of countries like Brazil, China, India and Russia. The Spanish pavilion will be located at a strategic point, just in front of the host State of Massachusetts.

En la complexitat dels éssers vius intervenen propietats físico-químiques del medi cel·lular
Un treball dirigit per Eduardo Eyras, investigador ICREA i responsable del Grup de Regulació Genòmica del GRIB (IMIM-UPF) mostra com les formes o estructures secundàries d'ARN regulen l'splicing o empalmament alternatiu en cèl·lules de llevat (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) emprades com a model experimental. S'ha comprovat que aquestes conformacions secundàries de l'ARN estan modificades per propietats físiques i químiques intrínseques de la cèl·lula, com ara la temperatura i el pH. Treball de referència: Plass M, Codony-Servat C, Ferreira PG, Vilardell J, Eyras E. RNA secondary structure mediates alternative 3'ss selection in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. RNA, 2012.
