WP1/2/3 Computer Sciences and WP5 Life Sciences: BSC - UniZar - UAB and UB - CRG - CNIO

Collaboration with computer scientists has been especially strong with groups at BSC, with the group of Computer Architecture at Zaragoza, the Department of Computer Science in Lleida and the Area of Computer Architecture and Technology at the U.Autònoma de Barcelona. This has resulted in large advances in the development of powerful tools for: i) characterization of macromolecular flexibility, ii) promoter annotation, iii) short-reads ensemble for “de novo” and re-sequencing studies, iv) parallelization of multiple sequence alignments (t-coffee), v) fast mapping algorithms and vi) distributing bioinformatics computing.
