💻🧬A new study led by BSC observes sex imbalance issues in the world's main genome archives, which are essential for advancing precision medicine 🔳Inaccurate sex reporting can introduce biases in the development of predictive tools based on biomedical databases, such as #AI systems ➡https://www.bsc.es/ZVM Cell Press Victoria Ruiz Serra Davide Cirillo Maria Jose Rementeria Nuñez Atia Cortés Alfonso Valencia Bioinfo4Women, ELIXIR, European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA), National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB) Nataly Buslón, PhD Camila Pontes

🗞️ New paper out in NPJ Biodiversity! More than 200 scientists from 33 European countries join forces to create genomes for the continent's species 🚀 Under the motto 'Better Together' to combat biodiversity loss, the researchers launched the ERGA - European Reference Genome Atlas Pilot Project: a network which aims to produce DNA maps for the European species 🧬 So far, they obtained 98 genomes. The next goal is to produce genomes on a larger scale, contributing to the challenge of the Earth BioGenome Project, which is to create a genomic blueprint for all the eukaryotic species around the world ➡ Our contribution from #CNAG Our center is one of the ERGA genome sequencing hubs, responsible for sequencing and assembling the genomes of species. CNAG is also a member of the ERGA Sequencing and Assembly Committee, and we have launched the ERGA Genome Tracking Console (ERGA-GTC), an online tool designed to streamline species prioritization and track sample metadata and genomic information to date The team that leads this Pilot Project from CNAG: Marta Gut, Tyler Alioto, Jèssica Gómez Garrido and Fernando Cruz 🦋 Why is a map of a species important for biodiversity? The genome has become a very useful tool for animal, plant, and fungal conservation policies, as genes hold the keys to understanding how a species can adapt to its environment and survive With the participation of other Spanish institutions: Institute of Evolutionary Biology (CSIC-Universitat Pompeu Fabra), Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Institut Botànic de Barcelona, Estación Biológica de Doñana - CSIC, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, IRB Barcelona, Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red CIBER, and Instituto Nacional de Bioinformática (INB) 📎https://lnkd.in/d6Z3hdXE

🤖La inteligencia artificial (IA) ya está ayudando a mejorar el diagnóstico y el tratamiento del cáncer. Pero los avances siguen sucediéndose con rapidez. ¿Cuál será el impacto de IA en la investigación en oncología? ¿Está España preparada para aprovechar la nueva revolución tecnológica? Con ocasión del Día Mundial de la Investigación del Cáncer, el #CNIOStopCancer organiza el martes 24 de septiembre la jornada abierta al público «La inteligencia artificial se une a la ciencia que busca curar el cáncer». 👥Alfonso Valencia, pionero en aplicar las ciencias de la computación al estudio del cáncer, y Nuria Oliver, experta en inteligencia artificial, abordarán estas y otras cuestiones en este acto de divulgación abierto y gratuito. ▪Alfonso Valencia dirige el Departamento de Ciencias de la Vida del Barcelona Supercomputing Center y el Instituto Nacional de Bioinformática (INB)/ELIXIR-ES. Nuria Oliver, PhD es cofundadora y directora de la Fundación ELLIS Alicante, centrada en la ética de la inteligencia artificial. ▪Maria A. Blasco, directora del #CNIOStopCancer, expondrá cómo el CNIO está ya usando inteligencia artificial en áreas como análisis de big data, predicción de estructuras de proteínas y descubrimiento de fármacos. ▪Completará la jornada una mesa redonda con los ponentes y, además, Marina Pollán, directora del Instituto de Salud Carlos III, e Ignacio Astilleros, director de Estrategia, Ventas y Marketing en la empresa tecnológica Openchip, y miembro de nuestra iniciativa filantrópica Amigos/as del CNIO (el 100% de las donaciones a Amigos/as del CNIO se destinan a la investigación del cáncer en el CNIO). 📅Tendrá lugar a las 11.00 h, en CaixaForum (Madrid). Cuenta con el apoyo de Fundación ”la Caixa”. Más info: https://lnkd.in/dDwqM42u

ELIXIR has launched the ELIXIR Cancer Data Community to enhance cancer data accessibility, quality and interoperability. The ELIXIR Cancer Data Community is co-led by Fatima Al-Shahrour, INB/ELIXIR-ES PI and Head of the Bioinformatics Unit at the CNIO - Spanish National Cancer Research Centre, together with colleagues from ELIXIR France and ELIXIR Norway. The Community was established in early 2024 and has three main aims: ➡ Disseminate existing open solutions ➡ Promote cross-project and cross-initiative collaborations ➡ Design and develop missing community standards The new Community enhances ELIXIR’s existing activities in cancer data, which include EOSC4Cancer coordinated by Barcelona Supercomputing Center part of Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB)/ELIXIR Spain, the European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM) and the Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) with partners from INB/ELIXIR-ES involved, and canSERV . 🔗 Read the news https://lnkd.in/dW_mRHzt #datamanagement #standards #opensolutions #cancer
