BSC - Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Early in 2004 the Ministry of Education and Science (Spanish Government), Generalitat de Catalunya (local Catalan Government) and Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) took the initiative of creating a National Supercomputing Center in Barcelona. BSC-CNS (Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación) is the National Supercomputing Facility in Spain and was officially constituted in April 2005. BSC-CNS manages MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, located at the Torre Girona chapel. The mission of BSC-CNS is to investigate, develop and manage information technology in order to facilitate scientific progress. With this aim, special dedication has been taken to areas such as Computer Sciences, Life Sciences, Earth Sciences and Computational Applications in Science and Engineering.

Secondary structure prediction of long noncoding RNA: review and experimental comparison of existing approaches
(Oxford University Press, 2022-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMOTIVATION: In contrast to messenger RNAs, the function of the wide range of existing long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) largely depends on their structure, which determines interactions with partner molecules. Thus, the ... -
