Insights into the function of the new chromatin remodeling complex in plants
Chromatin remodeling processes play essential roles in the regulation of various physiological processes in plants through changes in gene expression. In this work we discuss recent progress in understanding a mechanism of chromatin reorganization, NuA4-mediated histone acetylation, which operates in plant species as well as in other eukaryotes.

CBGP researchers support AseBio manifest for biotechnology and life sciences
In light of the COVID-19 global outbreak, Spain should invest in the promotion of science and innovation more than ever. Nowadays, the importance and impact of biotechnology on all areas of life is evident, therefore, an emerging initiative of the Asociación Española de Bioempresas, AseBio remains very timely and calls for collective support from scientific institutions across the country. CBGP fully supports the AseBio manifest and several CBGP researchers already signed it to express their support of the cause.
The CBGP gets a grant to acquire new equipment for its Systems Biology and Modelling Lab (SysBioM)
CBGP (UPM-INIA) has received recently a competitive grant from the Spanish Research Agency/Ministry of Science and Innovation for setting-up a new scientific infrastructure, the Systems Biology and Biological Modeling lab (SysBioM). The center will invest this grant resources in the acquisition of state-of-the-art instruments of the SysBioM, which is integrated into its Computational/Systems Biology and Genomics Program (CsBGP) of the CBGP (UPM-INIA).
