Es va celebrar el 17 de desembre de 2019 a l’Auditori de l’Edifici Vèrtex de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya amb un total de 231 persones inscrites, entre ponents i públic.

La Jornada, organitzada per la Secció de Bioinformàtica i Genòmica de la Societat Catalana de Biologia i l’associació Bioinformatics Barcelona va estar dividida en quatre sessions, dues al matí i dues a la tarda, que van abordar temes relacionats amb aquestes dues disciplines, cobrint tant recerca bàsica com translacional. Les comunicacions científiques van consistir en 18 conferències orals i 38 pòsters presentats tant per estudiants de doctorat com post-docs i investigadors principals dels diferents centres de recerca i universitats del territori català, principalment de la ciutat de Barcelona. Les conferències plenàries van ser a càrrec dels ponents convidats David Posada de la Universitat de Vigo, Mihaela Zavolan de la Universitat de Basilea, i Giorgio Valentini de la Universitat de Milà. La Jornada es va cloure amb una sessió de pòsters i l’entrega dels premis esponsoritzats per Genes. El premi a la millor conferència oral va ser per a Silvia Galan del Centre Nacional d’Anàlisi Genòmica-Centre de Regulació Genòmica pel treball Definition of “structural alpha-bets” for determining the relationship between structural patterns and genomic features i el premi al millor pòster va ser per a Miquel Angel Schikora del Barcelona Supercomputing Center-Centro Nacional de Supercomputación i l’Institut de Recerca Biomèdica de Barcelona pel treball “The mechanisms of drug resistance in the emergent pathogen Candida glabrata”.

We are glad to invite you to the VII Bioinformatics and Genomics Symposium, which will take place at the Auditori edifici Vèrtex (Campus Nord UPC, Plaça Eusebi Güell 6, Barcelona) on the 17th of December of 2019. The symposium is organized together by the Section of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and the Section of Genomics and Proteomics of the Societat Catalana de Biologia (SCB) and the Bioinformatics Barcelona Association (BIB). The main goal of this meeting is to foster scientific interaction between the different groups, by presenting the excellent research carried out in Catalonia in bioinformatics and genomics, such as advances in our understanding of the genome in humans and other organisms, new technological developments, healthcare applications and impact of genomic data on evolutionary science, among other areas.

Structure and Program: The symposium will consist of four sessions, including three keynote talks from internationally recognized scientists, David Posada (University of Vigo, Spain), Mihaela Zavolan (University of Basel, Switzerland), and Giorgio Valentini (University of Milan, Italy), and oral presentations selected from the submitted abstracts, followed by a poster session. A strong focus of this symposium are students and postdocs, so we strongly encourage them to submit and present their work, and take this event as an opportunity to enhance their communication skills, as well as to widen their perception of nearby activities in bioinformatics and genòmics.

Registration: Registration is required before December 10th 2019 at the symposium website. Registration is free for all members of the SCB, 30 € for students (undergraduate and PhD candidates) or members of the BIB institutions, and 60 € for other researchers. You can become a SCB member or check the BIB associated institutions at:

Abstracts: Participants willing to present their research as an oral communication or a poster may submit a brief abstract of their presentation (maximum 300 words) online at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jbg2019

Instruccions: of how to submit abstracts through easychair can be found at https://easychair.org/help/how_to_submit

The submission deadline is November 20th 2019.

Oral communications should be in English and focus on general aspects of the projects (context, main goals and results), avoiding detailed technical information, with a total duration of 12 min + 3 min for questions. In case that the number of submitted communications exceeds the available time, the Organizing Committee will select the communications to be presented based on scientific interest and a balanced distribution among groups. The best communication by a student or postdoc and the best poster will be given the 2019 Genes award.

Travel bursaries: The conference will offer up to four fellowships of 200 € to cover the travel costs of participants presenting an abstract traveling from outside Catalonia, giving priority to university and research centers from the Catalan Countries.
