Bovine genome provides clue to mammalian evolution and to an efficient and sustanable cuttle
Researchers of the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) take part in the Bovine Sequencing Project. The bovine genome, consisting of at least 22.000 genes, is more similar to that humans than that of mice or rats. Roderic Guigó (CRG) & Eduardo Eyras (GRIB - UPF/ IMIM) also signed the studies of sequencing other genomes (human, mice & rat) and now they have collaborated in this new international study published in Science

Barcelona School on Biomedical Informatics
Last week the first Barcelona School on Biomedical Informatics, promoted from the Research Unit on Biomedical Informatics (GRIB) came to a close with a noteworthy success in attendance and achievement of objectives.
The school consisted of an innovative formula that combined the presence of expert speakers on the subject running plenary and tutorial sessions, followed by group work sessions where the students applied some of the things learned during the morning sessions to situations of biomedical interest.
Jordi Villà i Freixa, the organiser of this edition, explains that this was the beginning point for a new model of school, much more participatory than the traditional workshops and with a strong practical component.

NVIDIA CUDA TECHNOLOGY DRAMATICALLY ADVANCES THE PACE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Distributed Computing Applications use NVIDIA GPUs for Biomedical Research, Space Exploration and Searching for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence
SANTA CLARA, CA—December 17, 2008— Once thought of as a technology used only for computer games, NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics processing units (GPUs) with CUDA™ technology are now being used for the serious business of scientific computation. Berkeley's Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC), one of the leading distributed computing platforms in the world, is using CUDA technology to tap the massively parallel processing power of NVIDIA GPUs with astounding results that could change the pace of scientific discovery through projects like GPUGRID and Einstein@home. The latest breakthrough came with the release of an optimized client that will allow SETI@home to analyze SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) data in about one-eighth of the time it previously took using CPUs.
